Surpassing all expectations for Labour. The Conservatives were notionally defending 21 of these seats based on previous county council elections— Robert Cooper (@BBCRobertCooper) #LocalElections pic.twitter.com/MX9CDjktqS May 6, 2022 "It's a very sizeable majority, the people definitely voted for modernisation and a new approach." Mr Mallinson, who won the Houghton and Irthington seat on the new council, said: "Partygate was a big thing and of course the cost of living crisis. Labour won 30 of the 46 Cumberland seats with the Conservatives getting seven, Liberal Democrats four, Greens two and independents three.

Deputy Political Editor Anushka Asthana breaks down what the local election results mean across the UK. | ITV National News.
It wasn't a great night for Johnson in Scotland either where his party fell to third place behind Labour. Overall it was a good result for the SNP but Labour will be cheered with a slight recovery. But they are probably not good enough for Labour yet either. And it is mid terms, and local elections can be unusual. So much so that Labour (and ITV News election analyst Colin Rallings accepted this) they'd probably win back a key seat there - Wolverhampton North East. However, because the seats were last up in 2018 - when on vote share Labour did well and was neck and neck with the Tories - the result still means significant progress on Labour's 2019 devastating election loss. So, to lose not only Margaret Thatcher’s favourite council - Wandsworth (after more than four decades of Tory control) but also Westminster and Barnet was pretty crushing for Conservatives in the capital. But ultimately there is another region that Keir Starmer has to focus on if he ever wants to be prime minister. The results here were mixed. Before 2018, Labour didn't have a single councillor there, and now it has a majority. I will be speaking to colleagues about what needs to happen," he said. The current set up isn’t working and it needs to be changed.

Dr Rebecca Cooper, leader of Worthing Labour group, said her party won due to a "perfect storm of very strong community activism, demographic change, local Conservative complacency and the national picture". The Labour leader of Crawley Borough Council, Peter Lamb, announced his decision to step down "on his own terms" after the results were declared, saying he wanted a "short break from intense politics". Elsewhere in Sussex, Labour took overall control of Crawley Borough Council, where it had run a minority administration, but it lost its majority at Hastings Borough Council, where the Greens gained three seats.

Cons have not made gains and have lost a ward. Labour HOLD in Dewsbury South Masood Ahmed wins with 3,069 votes. The count is now over at Cathedral House, and it's been completed much faster than we expected.

And the Lib Dems HOLD Almondbury. Alison Munro wins with 2,238 votes. In Kirklees Labour have gained three seats and have 36 seats, and so have a majority. Labour HOLD Greenhead.
