It could be no overall control?

That was just one ward not the whole council.

Well after all this I hope they start emptying the bins and clearing up the streets a bit better though I doubt it.

These elections have been taken over by national issues, whipped up by the appalling media that we have.

So far it looks like the public are holding Douglas Ross responsible for these late boats. Rightly so.

Is anyone watching the BBC coverage right now?

Result in my ward: 1 SNP, 1 Green, 1 LD

That'll do for me.

I still can’t believe the Conservatives represent Shettleston. But seeing a picture of their candidate with his Rangers tie on explains it a lot

Absolutely. They’re just voting unionist now.

It's been happening all over. They just can't say they're Tories anymore.

Many are "suspended" from their party (usually Tory) for indiscretions if one kind or another. Others realise that calling themselves Tories reduces their chance of being elected

Greens now have a councillor in both North and South Lanarkshire. Fantastic result for them.

[Ozyhibby]

If I’m a Tory MP down south then I’d be thinking that getting rid of Johnson would likely result in another general election win. There is not much sign that Labour are ready to challenge them yet.
New leader, party gate behind them and they likely win again.

Strathallan (ward seven) result.

Elected:
Keith Allan - Conservative
Steven Carr - SNP

Yep, it's looking like an increasingly poor evening for Labour.

Support consolidated where it already existed but they certainly aren't taking scores of votes from the Tories as we were promised Starmer's lurch to the right would do and they still look out of touch with what was a previous core support. They simply aren't going to win elections with a support base centered inside London and on university campuses (last point exaggerated for effect obviously).

Tories have lost 20% of the seats they are defending so far.

The Tories will argue that Labour are a party serving the interests of London, and remainers - and that will continue to help them in red wall areas where 60-70% of folk voted leave.
