A left-wing Labour politician appeared to mock leader Sir Keir Starmer last night as the party braced for a battering in the Super Thursday local elections.
As sources from across the political spectrum began painting a disastrous night for Labour, MP for Brighton Kemptown Lloyd Russell-Moyle took to Twitter on Thursday night to question his party's attempts to change its image.
He said: 'Good to see valueless flag waving and suit wearing working so well... or not?'
The comment seemed to be a reference to a leaked strategy document which suggested Labour must make 'use of the flag, veterans, dressing smartly' to win back voters in red wall seats in the party's former industrial heartlands.
