went down by so much was what got labour over the line. there is the swing. conservative to labour, 4.6%. that was the big result from last night but there was another really important result yesterday in the capital, london. here it is. sadiq khan comfortably beating the conservative susan hall, 275,000 votes in it this time, a lot more. this is what the swing look like and is why labour won. a 3.2% swing from the conservatives to labour. the tories were hoping they could claw back more ground in london to run it close. that didn't happen. it was pretty comfortable for sadiq khan in the end. so the big picture across england for local councils, there's only one left to declare. this is pretty much the finished picture, and it is a similar picture. labour doing well, up 185, the conservatives doing terribly, down 473, losing just under half of all the seats they were defending in thursday's local elections.
