Although the picture is showing (so far) that Labour does not have anything like enough popularity to win a general election alone. Sir Kneealot's mantra should perhaps be "Prepare for a Labour/Liberal coalition". And that always works out well.

Well, the Tories told porkies to cover their arses, predicting they might lose 1000 seats, so they could then claim things aren't so bad. It's turning out to be true. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 750 seats at 5.30pm.

Well at 18:00 the Cons have lost 836 seats with another 673 Con seats up for grabs.
Can the Cons achieve a 1000 seat loss or will they fail yet again....

It's smashed the 1,000 barrier now, 1,005 with 13 Councils still to declare.

It's not really a predictor for the election though because Dishy Rishi will organise some kind of giveaway for the proles, five pence off a pint of beer or something, arrange for a few dinghies to be blasted out of the water in the Channel and organise a smear campaign against Sir Kneelalot and job's a good 'un.

It's not really a predictor for the election though No it isn't. In fact there a lot of mixed signals here, but there are a few takeaways which seem clear enough; the Tories have fallen through the floor in the popularity tables, and since this is a popularity contest that's pretty bad for them. But they still come out as no.2...it would have been so much better if they had been trounced by the libs as well. But the actual number of councils retained looks like a joint first-place between lab and con, and the libs not too far behind, so if this is any sort of barometer for the general election (and people tend to vote the same way) then it's too close to call, especially if you consider that all those councils with a 'no majority' result are probably as evenly split. The map isn't finished though.

Still not quite complete. www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2023/england/resultsETA the banner numbers refer to councillors, not councils.
