He'd have stood some chance of a decent result in the Peterborough by-election if the Brexit Party hadn't just killed it instantly by deciding to stand.0 -
Labour are not doing well in my own local authority, Wakefield (which has a massive Lab majority, so isn't at risk on that level), both on the results already declared and on comments from the count. They've already missed one target seat and there are increases - in line with the rest of the country - for minor parties and independents.
Also, it's suggested on the Vote UK forum that previously ultra-safe Castleford ward has been lost to UKIP and that one of the Pontefract wards has only just been held against a Yorkshire Party candidate.0 -

Don't forget Hartlepool and Walsall too. Lot of local scandals unattributable to the Labour Party as a whole. I reckon0 -

I believe the Local Authority extends quite a bit beyond the parliamentary seat. For what it's worth, that looks quite a good result for Labour there.0 -
I have to say the quality of excuses / obfuscation of local politicians is even worse and far more frustrating than for national elections...0

I don't think that's true. The results for the Tories aren't all that bad, which will strengthen the views of all sides equally, giving little incentive to move, and little space to do so either.
For Labour, while it's clear that the present policy (or non-policy) isn't working, it's also clear that coming down on one side of the fence or the other is just jumping from the frying pan into the fire.0 -

I am glad I didn’t stay up for these; counting progress seems slow despite the claimed lower turnout.
My impressions from a quick survey of the results so far having got up briefly in the night are that they aren’t as bad for the Tories as feared, are worse for Labour, and look very good for the LibDems who have doubled their councillor total on the council’s declared.
If Labour is taking a hit for being on the fence I would have thought it would make a deal less likely, since coming off the fence in a Brexity direction won’t help them much.
The “where’s my Brexit?” protest looks like the lion that hasn’t roared, even where UKIP is standing, in the locals at least. Perhaps Farage has dented UKIP’s popularity leaving people with no pro-Brexit alternative than the Tories in most locations, while the anti-Brexit vote goes LibDem or Green?0 -
This was the Rallings/Thrasher prediction from a few days ago:
"CON: -550 (5525 to 4975)
LAB: +150 (2275 to 2425)
LD: +400 (650 to 1050)
UKIP: -100 (175 to 75)"0 -

Lab 9 wards (-1 compared to 2015 and -2 compared 2018)

Labour looks negative, so a lot worse than forecast. Credit to the PB’er who floated this possibility earlier.
The LibDem gain rate is above the forcecast and the Tory one not quite as bad.
Turnout isn’t down by that much, despite the tsunami of dodgy anecdota on PB earlier, which I suspected and said was mostly fluff.
Of course the early declarers are the more urban council areas, and most of the rurals where the Tories might be less pleased (?) are counting tomorrow.
Jess Phillips is saying that Labour’s fudge (my word) has failed, and that they need to be bolder. Not clear in which direction!0 -

LabourList:
02.16 Curtice says Labour’s support is down five points in the North, on average, but up three points in the South. Somehow, holders of every single position in the party on Brexit will use this to justify their stance.0 -
Why are Sky bigging up Stoke on Trent as a key indicator of Labour resurgence?
It has been Labour forever (even after Brexit, they easily returned a Labour MP) and yes the council is technically NoC, but it is mostly former Labour councillors who just changed to "City Independent" of the past few years.
It isn't like it is traditional Tory council and Jezza might sweep them away.0 -

That sounds about right. Enough to get a good feel for any surge, or lack of it.
UKIP looks busted from the early results. Is this by Farage, or because the pro-Brexit backlash has been wildly overstated?0 -

That was my feeling too. With Labour disappointed, seeing its anti-Brexit vote go LD or Green, this surely strengthens the hand of the PV lobby, whereas the Tories will be reassured, for the moment at least - their losses can be put down to government performance and behaviour without implying that much about Brexit, and so even less likely to concede a PV unless they scare at seeing the return of the LibDem threat. The West Country Council results tomorrow will be interesting.0 -
