Also interesting results in so far. Not looking good for Labour.
Swing = 30%.

And a good night to political anoraks everywhere. These are our times.
Farage not hopeful
Hope are not high for Ukip in these local elections - even Farage seems to expect the party to get a battering tonight. In an interview on LBC, he said:
"It’s not just Labour that’s going to lose seats tonight – and I’m very glad I’m coming off air in a moment.”
My son called tonight and he said her interview was the funniest, and at the same time, the most worrying political broadcast he had ever seen. He kept playing it - it was so enjoyable
IIRC Rallings and Thrasher were predicting that Labour would get the same vote share as in 2013.
Unless he has a pseudonym...

Welsh Labour source says the 'heavily briefed' Tory advance in Wales is 'yet to materialise' #LocalElections
CON Cardiff North 56.55% 29.91%
Nuttall is toast, but I have a bet with isam that kippers will not get over 15% in any seat at the GE.
Looking awful for them tonight.
Labour understand to be in trouble the northern portion of Cardiff.
First result in Newport. Labour hold on to their 3 seats in Alway / Canlyniad cyntaf Casnewydd - Llafur yn cadw eu 3 sedd yn
PS Forgot Brixton!
Labour GAIN Smithfield (Wrexham) from Plaid Cymru.
But see their vote drop from 44% to 28% in a five-way race this time.

Plaid source from the Cardiff count: #GE2017 has had an affect. Some voters saying today they need to vote Lab to stop Theresa May's Tories.
