nick eardley has been taking a look at the numbers and what we can learn from them. on the whole, the picture is pretty bleak for the tories. let me show you this. first of all, this is the vote share compared to 2021 with these seats were last contested. now, remember, in 2021, borisjohnson was leader. there was a bit of a bounce after the vaccine rollout. but look what�*s happened since. look at the change in the last three years. that�*s the tory vote change down 14%. that is pretty big. it�*s also worth just looking through some councils where the conservatives used to be in power but aren�*t any more, in part because of this. have a look here at redditch. a bit of a bellwether seat. we�*ve been saying that all morning. it�*s an area where the parties think that the result is pretty indicative of how the country is feeling. look at that. the conservatives have lost 11 seats. labour won ten. and it means that this long line of blue down here is done. this is now a labour controlled council. let�*s have a look at another one rushmoor in hampshire agai

political correspondent nick eardley�*s been looking at some of the key races. let's start off with the projected national share, which is what you can see here. this is what the bbc team, led by sirjohn curtis, think would have happened had the whole country voted along the same lines that the people who did vote yesterday had voted. that figure is bad for the conservatives. 25% is theirjoint lowest ever in our projected national share for our local elections. that will worry the conservatives. that's good for labour. it's the same sort of leaders they had last year. it's not quite tony blair in 1997. good for labour. next up, i want to show you this because the argument we're hearing from senior labour politicians today is they think they're doing well in the parts of parts of the country. they think they need to do well and to win a general election. milton keynes is one of them. see here is grey for today it was under no overall control. now it's got a labour majority. you can see there 30 seats they needed 29 for a majority. that's the sort of result the la

nick eardley from bbc verify has been having a closer look at the labour plan. good morning from bbc verify. we're going to look at a lot of the claims the parties are making, see what stacks up, see what doesn't, and help you make your decision. so, this morning, let's talk a bit about what the general election means for your energy bills. labour is talking today about this — great british energy, a publicly owned power company they want to set up. and they are claiming today that this will mean lower energy bills. they also say that, under the conservatives, prices would be higher. but are they right and where's the evidence? let's start with some context. we've all experienced the cost of living going up and energy bills were a huge part of it. this is what happened in the past couple of years. big increases in the cost of gas, and that meant big increases in bills. the government did subsidise some energy bills. and, as you can see here, the cost of gas has come down a lot recently. but what happens next? well, labour say their plan will bring bills down.
