Labour's latest slogan - "We're not doing as badly as we thought we would"

Ms Mansell described the narrow loss as "incredible", considering six of the nine constituencies that make up the West of England region are Conservative....
...Ms Mansell urged voters to back Labour candidates in the General Election.
"We have some great candidates," she said, adding that she was now returning to work for the NHS. "I would like to wish them the best of luck in the campaign."
And the Labour party lost less badly than had been expected in Wales, a key area for the Conservatives' plan to take seats in next month's election.

Labour's hopes of preventing a Tory landslide in next month's general election have suffered a demoralising blow after a night of losses in local elections.
Results are still coming in across the country but Jeremy Corbyn's party had lost at least 125 council seats by 9am.
The Conservatives won the West of England metro-mayor contest and gained control of five councils on an encouraging night for the Prime Minister.
Early signs were that they had profited as the Ukip vote collapsed, with Paul Nuttall's party failing to hold a single seat as the early counts came back.
