Local elections

2011 United Kingdom local elections

TUSC stood 174 candidates in the May 2011 council elections.[43] In 13 seats TUSC polled over 10% and in over a quarter polled more than 5%.

2012 United Kingdom local elections

TUSC stood 132 candidates in 38 councils, with 17 candidates for the London Assembly. Two TUSC-backed candidates were elected, Michael Lavalette in Preston and Peter Smith in Walsall.[44] In the council elections in England and Wales TUSC candidates averaged 6.2% of the poll. Tony Mulhearn, one of the 47 Liverpool Councillors who refused to set a budget for the council, and led a campaign of defiance of the Conservative government in the 1980s stood as the candidate for Mayor of Liverpool, coming fifth with 4.86% of the vote. In Scotland, 38 candidates stood in nine councils as the Scottish Anti-Cuts Coalition (SACC).[45] The TUSC campaign for the London Assembly was launched by Bob Crow of the RMT and Matt Wrack of the FBU,[46] and candidates included Alex Gordon, President of the RMT trade union and April Ashley a member of the UNISON National Executive.

2013 United Kingdom local elections

A total of 120 candidates contested the English local elections on 2 May under the TUSC umbrella, 5% of the seats. In addition, TUSC stood a candidate in the Doncaster mayoral contest and two candidates in council by-elections that were held on the same day. It was mainly county councils up for election, largely Conservative controlled. The TUSC candidate for the mayor of Doncaster, Mary Jackson, polled 1,916 votes, achieving sixth place, ahead of the Liberal Democrats.

2014 United Kingdom local elections

TUSC announced the 'biggest left-of-Labour electoral challenge in 60 years' in the 2014 local elections, fielding 561 candidates.[47] There were 53 candidates who were members of the RMT transport workers' union, 19 Communication Workers' Union members who were candidates, 18 members of the National Union of Teachers, 16 PCS members, 20 members of the university and College Union. From the big Labour-affiliated unions, there were 74 Unison members standing for TUSC and 130 members of Unite. TUSC gained two seats in Southampton with the defection of Don Thomas from Labour and the re-election of Keith Morrell, also previously Labour, as Councillors Against Cuts,[48] as well as a second seat on Maltby Town Council. The overall popular votes achieved in the campaign exceeded 68,000.[49]

TUSC lost its representation in Maltby in the autumn of 2014 with the removal of their two councillors for non-attendance,[50] and lost its Preston councillor when Michael Lavalette retired his seat.[51] However, TUSC gained two affiliated councillors in the shape of Hull Red Labour, following their expulsion from Labour in 2014.[52] In January 2015, TUSC gained a councillor in Warrington (Fairfield and Howley ward) with the defection of Kevin Bennett from Labour.[53]

2015 United Kingdom local elections

TUSC renewed its promise to field the largest left-of-Labour challenge in the parliamentary and local authority elections. It bolstered its 2014 local election candidacy count by 70, bringing the total to 650. As it also fielded 135 PPCs, in every major town and city in England, Wales, and Scotland, TUSC subsequently exceeded the overall number of candidates to satisfy the BBC's fair coverage threshold, qualifying it for distribution of election material via the Royal Mail, as well as time on the major networks for the airing of a Party Election Broadcast.[54]

TUSC gained no seats (and, in one ward, no votes) and lost three anti-cuts councillors in Leicester and Hull. They retain one affiliated councillor each in Warrington, Walsall and Hull, and two in Southampton.[55]

2016 United Kingdom local elections

Following the 2016 elections, TUSC had three councillors in Southampton under the banner of Coxford Putting People First,[56] Kevin Bennett having lost his seat in Warrington;[57] Hull Red Labour and Walsall Democratic Labour also lost their remaining seats.

2017 United Kingdom local elections

TUSC stood a total of 78 council candidates in 24 councils across England, Scotland and Wales, contesting 71 wards or divisions. TUSC also stood candidates in two of the eight Mayoral elections held on 4 May.[citation needed]

2018 United Kingdom local elections

Following the 2018 elections, TUSC retained at least one affiliated councillor in Coxford, Southampton, following the re-election (as Independent - Putting People First) of TUSC national steering committee member Keith Morrell.[58] Two other former Putting People First councillors also retain their seats as Independents, but the group has since dissolved.[59] Morrell resigned in 2019.[60]

2021 United Kingdom local elections

TUSC claimed to have put up nearly 300 candidates in the 2021 UK local elections.[61]

2026 United Kingdom local elections

They are standing 286 candidates in the 2026 United Kingdom local elections.[62]
