Followed by the first Labour gain. This fell last year as well and was expected,  more messy than before though.

Labour vote share goes down but they gain

could reform be hurting both parties or is Reform benefiting Labour?

I mean they are clearly taking more from the Tories than Labour

what council is this? No such ward exists on the county council it seems.

It's a by-election, which is why you probably can't find it

BBC just showed the amalgamated results, on the surface it appears as a 17% swing between 2021 and now of Con -> Reform. Labour still gaining though cause Indies and others are also down, which in this part of the universe are also Brexit-y, so those votes are likely now in the Reform total. So given the 2021 vote was near the Conservative peak for the NE so far, there's just a scattering of the former Boris Conservative vote to others.

Burbage ward on Leicestershire council.

There seems to be some dispute as to the exact figures for the Greens in Sunderland St Anne's (it's late and fingers slip on keyboards) not that it makes any fundamental difference. Very poor result in defence, it hardly needs to be pointed out.

18 percent is a lot. That could make a big difference in the result.

Some of these Con figures in Sun'lun are absolutely abysmal.

Labour have made another gain in Sunderland. It is off the Tory -> Reform defector, so should temper Reform's joy at the Sunderland results.

Others are beginning to note on twitter that the Reform numbers are still ways down on Brexit Party numbers in the past, but their strength in various wards correlates.

8.3 percent in washington north, 2.8 in sandhill, 8.9 in castle...

Shame about St Chads

There are correlations a long way back with other parties.

Tories apparently fearing a potential wipeout in both Lincoln and Redditch

Redditch is an all-out due to new wards and I'm not sure there any other opposition to Labour there, either.

Both of these were somewhat expected.  They should have saved something in Redditch but given that Labour threw the kitchen sink things may have shifted hard for them in the end. The bigger question in Lincoln is if the Lib-Dems are the beneficiaries or Labour.

A student area but the notable thing is Labour holding up fine, especially when compared to 2021 and not 2024. A early tea leave the Gaza issue matters only to Muslims?

Rushmoor Tories seemingly preparing too lose control. Seems possible that it could be the headline result as suspected last week, unless Sunderland gets done faster.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ooof, those Ryhope numbers.

First green gain, though they took this in 2023 as well so it was a known target.

[Oryxslayer]

Broxborne has declared it's inevitable 9-1 Con-Lab result.

[Harlow]

Another Green gain, this time in a ward they haven't won before (according to New Statesman).
