It looks like an SNP majority in Dundee.

As a kid I came to #Glasgow as a refugee. Now elected to its city council to represent this wonderful city that I love so dearly. If you told me 20 years ago I would be a councillor I would not have believed you. Thank you ❤️
I’m proud of my background #RefugeesWelcome #SNP

All Edinburgh results now in - new council will be SNP 19, Labour 13, Lib Dems 12, Greens 10, Tories 9. #LocalElections2022
Bit of a scandal in the Musselburgh ward as a Labour candidate who had party support pulled earlier in the week due to inappropriate historical social media activity has been elected.
He still appeared as Labour on the ballot papers, so will have picked up a lot of votes based on that, especially from postal voters who will have voted before the revelations became known.
Surely he has to stand down.
So basically the Red Tory loan vote to the actual Tories has been rescinded. Fair enough.
Not sure he'll stand down, but surely, Anas has to take some action, not holding my breath though.Quote:

They couldn't remove him from the ballot, and had said he'll have to stand as an independent, so fair play to the local party. That vetting process hits the headlines again though.Quote:

SNP biggest winner on the night. People clearly trust them despite hysteria over late boats.

If I was in charge of the Nasty party I'd put that Dougal Ross guy in as governor of Scotland. Murray is out his depth.Quote:

Looking at the figures briefly it looks like Labour had a good night in Glasgow, not so good elsewhere.
In England, The results in the red wall councils are terrible for Starmer. Newcastle under Lyme in the potteries, the most working class place you can imagine. I have family there, it’s a grim place. The Tories won the parliamentary seat in 2019 for the first time in 100 years. The council also went Tory. Last nights vote was supposed to be a good bell weather. The result? The Tories actually gained two extra councilors there. The Corbyn factor was a cheap excuse, they like Starmer no better. This is being replicated across old industrial areas . It’s basically what went on with Trump winning over rust belt America five years ago. Brexit the xenophobic fly in the ointment. Very very worrying.Quote:

Willie must be a good age now. I remember taking my Grandad to his 60th birthday party and that wasn't yesterday.Quote:

After full results from 195 of the 200 councils holding elections, the net change in seats is:
Con -397
Lab +252
Lib Dems +189
Green +81
SNP +62
PC -3
Ind -215
Others -17
Disappointed that myself and my running partner never flipped the balance in Strathallan, but it was always a huge ask in the Tory stronghold around Gleneagles.
It is going to be a tough gig sharing the ward with 2 Tory councillors, but I did help substantially increase the vote share and knock the incumbent Tory councillor into 3rd place.
Yep. Many people down south are actively approving of people being forced to foodbanks and the destruction of our NHS.Quote:

Congratulations Steve. I imagine it must feel pretty daunting right now but I’m sure you’ll smash it.[emoji106]Quote:
