conservatives clamouring to concentrate on its victory on teesside, but who was the winner here? ben houchen, the local mayor who hung on, who says sunak is safe for now. the idea that people in the conservative party think we can change prime minister yet again, whoever that may be, and still think we have any chance of winning the next election is for the birds. the council results were dire for the tories, with all the nerves that creates for the general election. that's quite a swing, isn't it? i mean, you'd be toast if there was a 16% swing to labour, wouldn't you? these results might sketch out the political future. so this morning, what might it hold? morning, morning. with us to reflect on the winners and losers, mark harper, the transport secretary, and pat mcfadden, labour's campaign chief. how much sleep have you had? not enou~h! how much sleep have you had? not enough! the _ how much sleep have you had? not enough! the same! _ how much sleep have you had? not enough! the same! election - how much sleep have you had? not enough! the same! election due i how much sleep

the other thing i find fascinating about teesside and about west midlands, is that both ben houchen and andy street are their own men. they've hardly touched rishi sunak, they've hardly touched the central tory brand. so if people, as we were saying earlier on, are fed up with the tories, but still don't want to go the whole hog and vote for labour or lib dems or what have you, then they're okay with with lord houchen and they're okay with andy street very much their own men. so my instinct looking at the polls is that the tories could well have a good afternoon and they could well hold one of them this afternoon. and the other one, as you quite rightly said, tomorrow. london is also fascinating because that's just around the corner. >> what's your thoughts on london, well, the tories are putting out that they've done much better than they expected to do. there's one, one seat within the, the london area where the tories have only got a 2000 majority if labour took that as well as, sadiq khan holding on, then that really would be quite significant because there's a whole stack of margin

carve this, however you look at it, and of course you can pick out extreme examples of a result in teesside, for example, which is a good result for the conservatives. but at the end of the day, these are one and a few amongst a pattern which is not in the conservative party's favour. they've lost 500 councillors nearly, they've lost 12 councils. they're doing very, very badly. and of course the reform party is making that worse for them . so there's no worse for them. so there's no complacency here. i think the labour party, after the terrible defeat suffered under jeremy corbyn, is clearly back in the game at the next general election in a very competitive place . but i think election in a very competitive place. but i think keir and election in a very competitive place . but i think keir and the place. but i think keir and the whole labour party takes nothing for granted at this point. >> yeah, i mean, sean, janet's just written in and janet says, sorry, i have to mute starmer. he sounds like a drone. i mean, do you think that there is a groundswell of love and admiration for sir keir st

police crime commissioners , you know, crime commissioners, you know, ben houchen was re—elected in, teesside where he was predicted not to andy street only lost by 0.8, in his election in the west midlands. and when you look at the numbers and the experts have crunched those numbers since , crunched those numbers since, thursday, actually, the polls have narrowed and the polling was widely wrong. you know, susan hall was predicted to be 20 points behind sadiq khan, and she came in 11 points behind. so the polls aren't quite right and we are making progress, and some of the key areas, such as harlow, that labour really wanted to take control of at these local elections, they didn't manage to. and i think there's a consensus now that labour haven't done enough if they want to, to be in government. and so what we want to do over these next few months is make sure that the things that we're working on, you know, we said at the last election take control of our money, laws and borders. what? immigration, our borders, our nhs and getting people , feeling like they're people, feeling like they're b
