Original Note:
Labour in 2001 had 10,724,953 votes compared to 12,877,918 in 2017. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_United_Kingdom_general_election - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_United_Kingdom_general_election In 2017, Labour gained 30 seats, up from 232 to 262. In each previous election in this century (i.e. the 2000s) they lost seats. The post is cherry-picking but the CN is factually incorrect.
