now, this is swindon.n declared, which is why it is in white. if we just go into it... so you can see there, the winning post is 29, there are still ten wards to declare and it is a straight fight between conservative and labour, conservative on 24, live on 21 and if we just take a little look here at the share change, better news for labour here than in sunderland. the share has gone up by 596 sunderland. the share has gone up by 5% but this is still a work in progress, the count is still on. thanks very much. let's bring in our guru. john, welcome. what do you make of it so far? what other signs you are looking on with interest? we're looking on with interest? we're looking at the detailed figures for individual boards in each of the councils. it is still early days but let me remind you of one of the major features of the 2017 general election and that was the way in which between them conservatives and labour dominated the election. the biggest combined share sense 1970. these early signs so far, we mi

they should wind north warwickshire, swindon. in swindon, we warwickshire, swindon.ionally, we haven't held it for years and years, off the labour party parliamentary candidate. there is a point about the political cycle. we are in exceptional times. let's note that. we know that. and yet this is a government that lots of people take the view it has made a complete hash of the brexit process. it is prime territory for labour in terms of lots of people's perspective of where you should be. so it's not just that this is a disappointing result. you've lost 54 seats at the moment. you should be in a position where you are gaining hundreds of seats on this electoral cycle. is that not something you accept? seats on this electoral cycle. is that not something you accept7m seats on this electoral cycle. is that not something you accept? it is also a point that in some areas like london where it labour does extremely well i'm not up for election this time. these are a lot of rural areas, difficult areas for us. we have taken trafford. trafford isa us. we have taken trafford.

the conservatives held swindon and gained north east lincolnshire, but they lost control in st albanstowe, peterborough, worcester, basildon and elsewhere. these were always going to be difficult elections for us and there we re difficult elections for us and there were some challenging results for us last night, but it was a bad night for labour too and i think people we re for labour too and i think people were sending a very clear message, a simple message, to both main parties, to us and the labour party. just get on and deliver brexit. applause not all of her colleagues here at the welsh conservative conference are altogether supportive though. thank you, everybody... why don't you resign? we don't want you! mrs may, told to herface, she should go. crowd chant ‘0ut'. he is crowd chant ‘out‘. he isjeremy corbyn in trafford in greater manchester, but labour lost control in hartlepool, the wirral, and bolsover. we have one micro trafford to an open mole —— overall majority, we have swings to labour in a number of boroughs across the whole of the country, and that gives us a basis on

well, in some seats, like swindon south and thurrock, these are seats that on what we have seen tonight, would be gains in a parliamentary election. but it's difficult to compare what happens locally, where people are looking very much at local issues, and what would happen in a general election, we re clearly, would happen in a general election, were clearly, it is more likely that they will vote for a bigger party because of the electoral system. whereas in a local election, it can bea whereas in a local election, it can be a strong personality. there can be a strong personality. there can be all sorts of reasons why people might choose to do things differently. year round hard work. john curtice was looking earlier at the overall changes in vote share. that might be one way to try and even out what is going on here with the different councils. tojust even out what is going on here with the different councils. to just say it is nuanced because of local issues doesn't make a lot of sense. for example, the conservatives on the ground, i do not see them being, sorry, young and active and

that gives us a basis on which we can win marginal seats, such as swindon, such as thurrock and otherrd to an election in which we do that. but also only half of the results of come in. trafford is the exception of the night, though. you lost control of bolsover, you lost control of hartlepool, wirral, walsall. these are labour heartlands. i'm very sorry we lost them. we'll fight back and we'll win them back. that's the whole point behind it. what we are doing here is putting forward an agenda of anti—austerity and also putting out that local authorities have born the brunt of the austerity agenda, which has been foisted upon them by the conservatives and the lib dems, when they were in coalition together. that was jeremy corbyn reacting that wasjeremy corbyn reacting to the results. this is what liberal democrat leader sir vince cable had to say to supporters in chelmsford this morning. well, i'm just celebrating a really great result here in chelmsford, essex. but this story across the country... you know, the lib dems were written off at one point, but we're coming back very, very

they have been in the headlines for all sorts of reason, not least because of the 3000 people in swindonsel sales and the need to switch to electric cars. as for sales of new cars, it's a downturn we're feeling here too. latest stats from the smmt show sales fell more than 4% in the uk last month, that's the second—lowest april since 2012. just over 160,000 new cars were sold in april. and that means difficult times for the uk car industry. that is partly because of b cell sales. diesel sales. they used to account for half — 50% of all the cars we bought — in the year before the vw emissions scandal of 2015. but since then, diesels now account for just 29% of the market for new cars. that is a concern for them, how can they sell them if we are not buying they sell them if we are not buying the electric cars quick enough. that is the problem. we're not switching to electric car sales fast enough. electric car sales rose more than 50%, although atjust over 1,500 units they remain less than 1% of new cars sold this month. ——. we see the need that we are not doing it fast enough.” ——. we see
