Yes, the tracker on the Guardian is constantly updated. I think that big jump from when Blandy posted it to now is the +14 Labour got in Monmouthshire which has taken a Tory Council to No Overall Control with Labour being the largest Party. Monmouthshire is Tory Farmer central. Thats a huge result
-
the 40 seats thing is bollocks, Sky and the BBC keep saying this and its utter rubbish. It was utter rubbish at 7am and its still is now Tories -334 Labour +197 LibDems +165 Greens +75 Others (Indies / Ratepayers / local lunatics) - 224 Nobody at the BBC or Sky seem to be able to recognise the utter tripe their figures are. They were fubarred when I got up this morning and have remained that way all day
-
It says Labour has had a good day. Todays elections were replacing the 2018 councillors which was already a very good set of results for Labour. They’ve built on that by a considerable number. The Lib Dems and the Greens have had exceptional days
-
Is that evidence of anything illegal? -
Both Sky and the BBC are using the incorrect figures. So put the rod away and start actually examining the results. They are wrong
-
nah, they are there. https://www.solihull.gov.uk/councillors-and-democracy/elections-2022-results for example...
-
Labour lose control of Hastings after 3 Green gains from them (still the largest party, Tories exactly the same)
-
BBC are still claiming Labour are only +43 when its now +127 Laughably shit Is there anyone out there in the real world that thinks the LibDems have picked up 124 seats in England alone? Apparently the BBC do
-
Wiki will be the best place imo eventually but Solihull Council will have them on their website already (If it was Solihull you were talking about)
-
Yes but Dem, Stamford Hill isn't a Council Area and Barnet is. 1 in 5 of Barnet's population identify as Jewish, not specifically Hasidic Jewish, just Jewish. Hackney as a council is not in the top 2 across the borough
-
Also picked up red wall Rossendale from NOC, 2 seats from Tories
-
Labour just gained Crawley from the Tories picked up 2 seats (One Tory, One Indie) hold balance of power by 1 but there is a vacant seat too
-
No, they are not. 1 in 5 of Barnets population identify as Jewish. Second largest Jewish population is Hertsmere Council which has 1 in 9 residents identifying as Jewish
-
Well if Durham Police are reopening investigations into lock down breaches they've already investigated... I can think of another they might want to look at!
-
No, only a third of them. The only way Solihull would have changed would have been to No Overall COntrol by the Tories losing every single one of the 18 seats up for election (1 ward had 2), the majority was 18 before these results EDIT: English councils (Not London) elect 3 Councillors per ward on a 4 yearly basis. Three years out of Four there is an election with one year no having elections (by-elections notwithstanding)
-
You haven't missed it, they are still massively wrong
-
It was impossible for it not to
-
No Dem, Wandsworth, Barnet and Westminster going Labour is actually a huge shift Just think, all through the Blair / Brown years where Labour were in the ascendancy mostly, those three councils remained Tory You can't just say London is Labour, those councils aren't and rarely ever were. Westminster and Wandsworth were the London flagbearers for different reasons for the Tory Party. They no longer run them
-
Maidstone gone from Con to NOC (Lab +2, LD +1 Green +1)
-
No, this time they are plain wrong and have been all morning, see the Local Elections thread.
-

I've just gone through the London results and I may have added a few that "aren't London" (was using all seats elected as a guide) and Labour were +63 and as they were definitely +39 from just Barnet / Wandsworth and Westminster, the +40 figure for London from the BBC is rubbish, I think I only spotted one London council where they lost seats.
-
Those BBC figures are just wrong. Guardians are more accurate
-
Bear in mind that Cumberland is a brand new council never elected before but as the tweet says covers three "Red Wall" Tory seats!
-
The election will not be called early, there really isn't the time if it's with a new leader. A new leader will not be in place until the autumn, that only gives him one budget cycle anyway before 2024
