among the headlines — labour won control of councils in redditch, thurrock, hartlepool, and rushmoor in hampshire. but they lost oldham to no overall control. for the conservatives — there was a huge swing in their loss of the blackpool south by—election to labour. four councils were also lost. but their candidate ben houchen won the race in the tees valley to stay on as mayor. the liberal democrats have been targeting conservative areas in the south of england, hoping to establish a base to fight for those seats in the general election. unlike the other leaders, sir ed davey�*s media event was held in the south in winchester. complete with — as you can see — conservative dinosaurs, which he wants to consign to history. and the greens have seen their vote go up by around 17% in areas with large muslim communities. they've also done well in places where there is a high student population. sir keir starmer and rishi sunak have been talking to the media about their parties�* fortunes.
