The Conservatives suffered heavy defeats in numerous local authorities and lost the Blackpool South by-election to Labour.
Rishi Sunak is braced for the result of key mayoral elections in London and the West Midlands, after the Conservatives were trounced in the first day of local election results.
Lord Ben Houchen retained the mayoralty, amid denials he had sought to distance himself from the Conservative party during his campaign. The results of several other mayoral, council, and police and crime commissioner elections will also be announced as the weekend begins.Local Elections 2024: Results in the South East, South and Thames Valley
He wrote in the Telegraph newspaper: “Thursday’s results showed that voters are frustrated and wondering why they should vote. The fact Labour is not winning in places that they admit themselves they need for a majority, shows that Keir Starmer’s lack of plan and vision is hurting them. Sir Keir Starmer meanwhile hailed his party’s victory in the York and North Yorkshire mayoral race on Friday afternoon as “truly historic”.
Overall, Labour won control of eight councils as it saw a net gain of 204 seats, while the Liberal Democrats gained 92 seats and the Greens 58.
