- I am astonished that Rugby isn't in the bottom ten. It's definitely my least favourite. (My favourite council logo is Renfrewshire but I suspect this contest is just England.)

Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

- It's official: Reform UK have gained overall control of Lancashire CC. Current scores on the doors RUK 43 C 7 Ind 7 Lab 5 LD 4 OWL 2 Grn 1 15 results to come
- We appear to be on course for a RUK majority on Lancashire CC.
- Early results suggest Lab are on course to do badly in County Durham overall, but they have gained Barnard Castle against the trend. Didn't see that coming.
- How it started How it's going
- Overnight results in Lincs - from Lincoln and the Parts of Holland - have RUK 30 Lab 3 LD 2 C 1 (one!!!1!). RUK only need 6 out of the remaining 34 seats for overall control.
- Reposted by Andrew TealeLabour's biggest issue is neither being too socially conserative or not socially conservative enough. It's cuts. People have had enough.
- Interesting early results from Broxbourne, which is probably the most right-wing part of Hertfordshire - the Conservative vote is normally weighed here. Rest of Herts CC will come in today.

- The changes in the urban SE of the county are instructive. 2021 vs 2025
- Northumberland is the first council to finish counting: scores on the doors are C 26 RUK 23 Lab 8 Ind 7 LD 3 Grn 2. Now form an administration out of that. A quick reminder that Lab have a full slate of MPs here.
- By the way BBC, Pochin isn't an MP-elect: she's an MP, straight away.
- Druridge Bay is in Trevelyan's former constituency, but it's normally safe Labour and I suspect she was just a paper candidate.
