BBC projected national vote share.

Reform 30%
Labour 20%
Lib Dems 17%
Conservatives 15%
Greens 11%
Others 7%

Safe to say Reform won.

Take the prospect of a Reform government seriously. Long way to go - of course - these are just locals.

But still - seriously.

Woof.

Some genuinely seismic results beneath the national picture. Take County Durham. Labour lost 38 seats and only have 4 left. Reform won 65 seats, having not had a single one. The Tories lost 15 and have 1 left.

This was a Labour controlled council for a century until 2021.
