Gains. Another blow for conservatives, they also lost a blackpool by election. The third biggest swing in the postwar by election history. Heres our political correspondent, hannah miller.

Obviously its disappointing to lose good, hard working conservative councillors, but weve still got lots of results to come as well. And there are also things that i would point to. Harlow, for example, where keir starmer held a rallyjust on wednesday saying that was a place that he had to win to be on track to win a General Election. That hasnt happened.

It was on the basis of their support in local government they were able to build greater and greater seats won at national elections. That all changed in the 20005 and they have struggled recently. I am sure they will want to re establish a foothold in certain places like dorset, a council that is entirely up for grabs this time around and it will be precisely the kind of target area they will be aiming for. Those types of areas in a General Election they will want to be winning from the conservatives. We will want to be winning from the conservatives. Conservatives. We have
