Follow all the latest elections developments in theAndy Street dramatically lost the West Midlands mayor battle tonight in a body blow for Rishi Sunak .
The failure of the former John Lewis boss to secure a third term is a huge setback for the PM, and leaves him with almost nothing to cling to from a nightmare set of local elections.Rebels immediately warned that the 'gamechanging' defeat meant Mr Sunak could now face a fresh bid to oust him - although other MPs reiterated their view it was too late.
'Despite all the highly positive private spin from No10 to Tory MPs since Thursday, we've lost well over 400 council seats, Andy Street has lost, Susan Hall has been defeated in London,' they said. A former minister told MailOnline that victory for Mr Street would have 'eased the pressure' on the PM. The MP said the key question for the rebels was who would be better than Mr Sunak: 'No one and they know it.'
Recounts took place in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and Coventry as the parties wrangle over every single vote. Andy Burnham emerged victorious in Greater Manchester by 63 per cent to just 10 per cent for his Tory opponent. 'We Conservatives have everything to fight for – and we will because we are fighting for our values and our country's future.'
On Labour losses over its stance on Gaza, Sir John said: 'At the moment I think what we would find if we had a general election is that Labour might well fall back in some of these seats, but because the Labour Party is already so strong, they would probably still succeed in winning the parliamentary election.
The region, which covers the PM's Richmond constituency, is somewhere Labour has historically struggled to compete in parliamentary elections. The Liberal Democrats' most significant victory was winning control of Dorset council from the Conservatives, where it now has 42 of the 82 seats after gaining 15.
