LONDON — Results are underway in the 2017 local and mayoral elections with announcements being made in England, Scotland, and Wales throughout today.
We are expecting results in 4,851 council seats plus six regional mayoral contests. The results will give us a clear insight into how the country’s political parties are performing with just five weeks until the general election.
Theresa May’s Conservatives are expected to make over a hundred gains while Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour is bracing itself for a bruising day. UKIP and the Liberal Democrats have a lot at stake, too.
Scroll down for our latest updates.
07: — LABOUR SEATS DROPPING LIKE FLIES
Some interesting news coming out of Cumbria this morning.
Gillian Troughton, who stood as Labour’s candidate in the recent Copeland by-election, has just lost her council seat in Howgate. Troughton told me last week that she plans to stand again for Labour in the upcoming general election.
07:10: — BOWES IS “HUMBLED AND EXCITED” TO BE WEST OF ENGLAND MAYOR
Tim Bowes’ victory in the West of England mayoral election will have Conservative Party HQ feeling jubilant.
Bristol, a major city within the region, is a Labour area. It has a Labour council and the city’s mayor Marvin Rees is a Labour man. However, the Tories have one of their men in the region’s first mayor of its sort.
Here is Bowes reacting to being elected.
06:58 — WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR?
There are still lots more results to come but early signs look very good for the Conservatives.
The party has made a series early gains in council seats, with Labour already losing, and Paul Nuttall’s UKIP failing to pick up a seat and losing every seat its defended so far.
May’s Tories have so far have taken control of Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire and Warwickshire County Councils, plus the Isle of Wight. All were previously under “no overall control.”
Conservative candidate Tim Bowles has also won the West of England mayoral election.
And over in Wales, the party has won Monmouthshire, while Labour has lost control of Blaenau Gwent and Bridgend.
