There are many expressions that we may use to describe the mood of the Labour party after last nights huge swing toward them. I doubt that 'extremely worried' is among the first that many people would reach for.
More fool them if they think that it was a huge swing to them. It was a massive swing away from the Conservatives and towards those who couldn't give a damn, just like all the recent by-elections. That should worry all the parties.
I don't think many of the recent by-elections have been in seats Labour will be targeting in a General Election. It wouldn't be surprising if they switched back to the Conservatives with a higher turnout at the GE, and it probably wouldn't matter that much in the scheme of things either.

“From the last PM almost bankrupting the entire nation, to the current one doing nothing to mitigate the issue of them introducing trade barriers with our closest and biggest trade partners.
“Asking why we’re in recession would be like asking a sprinter why he came last after tying his shoelaces together.
“It’s absolutely f**king obvious to everyone who isn’t wearing a blue rosette.”"
There were rumours of people having ID but still refused a vote as the photo looked out of date.
Don’t worry . The Scum bag tories have no chance and I think there is a good chance they get less than 100 seats . Labour has a once in a generation opportunity to make sure the scum

its ironic how they become a party of higher taxes and couldnt even get credit for or do anything positive with it. though I expect a large personal allowance change as the easy way to soften up the electorate in the next budget.
Yes - I was also wondering which taxes exactly are 'coming down'? Does anyone know?
