Surely it only means anything when the numbers go above the amount that didn't vote Labour in the election. Up to then its just repeating part of the election numbers.

The 'number that didn't vote Labour' is a lot - including everyone that didn't vote at all.
But I agree with your point. Certainly, until it outstrips the total that voted directly AGAINST Labour (basically Tory + Reform) then it is meaningless (even without factoring in all the foreigners, bots and made up names that are included in the total).
Badenough on PMQT quoting the "2 million" petition and inviting Starmer to resign. Bat-shit mental.
Even then, it is still meaningless really.
Of course the public should be given ample opportunity to select and re-select representation, that is the nature of democracy, but can't have an election every day can we?
It would be wizard if it could be Christmas every day.
