       In the by-election the Conservatives got 35% of the vote, Reform 30% and Labour just 28%.

       Ewdwards wrote: "Thank you to everyone in Brockmoor and Pensnett who held their nose and voted Labour in the borough by-election on December 19. Unfortunately, we came third.

       "The over-riding message on the doorstep was anti-Starmer and rightly so. Sir Keir Starmer's attack on the working class, our children and parents/grandparents is unjustifiable.

       "He lied to us all to get elected and does not deserve to be the leader of the Labour Party. Good, honest councillors will lose their seats because of Keir Starmer's actions and his attack on working-class people.

       "I hope that election results such as this Labour coming third in a seat that only six months ago became one of our safest seats will be the kick up the a**e the national Labour Party needs. But the truth is I don't think Starmer gives a damn.

       "I stay in the party hoping he is booted out and a proper working-class person, not an Establishment stooge, gets to lead it again. Your local councillors will continue to work hard and follow the traditional Labour values in spite of Starmer's actions."

       In July, Labour triumphed in the area with nearly 64% of the vote. However, in the local election on December 19 for another seat in Mr Edwards' ward, it fell to third place with a mere 28 per cent of the vote, trailing behind the Conservatives and Reform.

       Edwards, who identifies as a working-class man committed to "the values the Labour Party was founded to deliver", defended his remarks last night.

       Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, he emphasised that Labour must care for "the most vulnerable in society that includes pensioners and children".
