23 council authorities held elections on Thursday, the vast majority of them county councils. Labour were defending just one - the City of Doncaster - which they lost to Reform with a huge swing. Ed Miliband and the rest of the local Labour MPs are likely to be toast based on these results, although a lot can change in four years.
The astonishing level of support for Reform meant that zero councils at the start of the day turned into ten by the end of it. Eight of those gains came from the Conservatives, who had an exceptionally torrid day, losing control of every single council they were defending. While Reform had an overall net gain of 677 council seats, the Tories had a net loss of 676. It's no coincidence that these two figures are so close. Reform are not just a threat to Labour, they are demolishing the Conservatives as well.
The only other party that won control of any councils on Thursday was the Lib Dems, who gained three in total.
The results are as follows. The figures provided are the total number of council seats won per party and the difference in brackets from previous local elections.
