If every person of viting age in the UK did not vote for Labour, then I am sure Starmer would have to resign.

Cleverly currently has no power though. Now to be fair I think Britain is overestimating its own power at the moment, the decision making rests with America rather than thank god with David Lammy. I again have my own views on Biden and the way the Democrats have behaved with regard to his capability, but in my view he has been good on the Istael/Palestine conflict, I know many would disagree though.

The last Tory government took six years pension from and thousands of other women. The WFA is less than £1 a day. They took £30K+ each and everyone of us. Don't ever think the Tories will treat you better.

The last Labour government took about 1/3 of the pension we should be receiving now.
Robbing pensioners seems to be a government strategy whoever is in power because we can’t do anything about it.

Local elections are for Local issues, they have no effect on Government planning or events.
My Son is a Councillor and he's constantly telling folk they can not influence Government, but can try sort out local issues.
I'm surprised there is Elections, as most of these took place in May.

The Postal Poll card just says the election of councillors. I also had a paper pushed through with a massive red, Vote Labour on the front of it.

I suppose it is to vote for the councillor I want to run the ward I am in.

@ NannyJan53.........Regarding giving Labour the courtesy of time to start to put things right then I don't suppose we have a choice in the matter for the next five years.

I am not going to worry about something that I have no control over.

It should make it clear on the postal voting form which election it's for. The paper with the "massive red Vote Labour on the front" is what normally happens in any election, local, council or otherwise. You may get others from other parties.

Having said that I'm not sure what point your post is making ... surely you've voted before, had election bumf before, which will make it clear which type of election it is.
