The Conservatives suffered a heavy defeat in the Blackpool South by-election and council losses are mounting after early declarations.
Rishi Sunak has suffered a by-election drubbing and faces further pain in council contests across England.
Elections expert Professor Sir John Curtice said the Tories could be on course to lose 500 councillors in “one of the worst, if not the worst” performances by the party in 40 years. – Labour won Thurrock, one of its top targets and an area of the country that will be a key battleground with the Tories at the next general election.
– Labour gained police and crime commissioners from the Conservatives in Cumbria and Avon and Somerset. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said it was a “seismic win”, adding: “This is the one contest where voters had the chance to send a message to Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives directly, and that message is an overwhelming vote for change.”
A total of 11 mayoral contests are also taking place, including for the London mayoralty between frontrunners Labour incumbent Sadiq Khan and Tory challenger Susan Hall.
