A good day for the Lib Dems. Time to stop punishing them for the coalition.

Indeed, good to see Labour have lost seats.

If this set of results are repeated next year we go back to  NOC.

If Labour lose 3 next year they'll be down to 46 seats - 43 needed for a majority.

After all the talk on here about independents:

 

Sir John Curtice on the BBC:

 

"Quite remarkably the number of of independent councillors has trebled already...."

Thanks.

 

Superb news as the Greens defeat the tree-killers in Nether Edge and Sharrow

[WalkleyIan 10]

I think the greens missed a golden opportunity to take a seat Walkley  for the first time.  The LD result still way down from the days when they held all 3  seats

I note that Labour have lost bolsover, Bolton, Walsall, ashfield and derby.

 

Corbyn might be winning some people over but he isnt keeping old labour.

[tinfoilhat 11]

And now Labour lose NE Derbyshire.

 

What's going on?

Frustrations over Brexit mostly, people will be punishing them but depending on their stance they could be for completely different reasons.

Fellow forumer and former Woodseats postman Jordan Pont after coming last for the BNP in East Ecclesfield last time out has now come last for the NF! 

 

That’s what I call consistent. 😉
