which are conservative but used to be labour in the days of tony blair, and they include harlow, tamworthnd dudley. can labour win back support in those areas? in the labour column we will be looking to see if they can hold onto bolsover which was hung last time it was fought, but it became labour through defections. and what will happen in the councils in lincoln and in ipswich which are labour councils but returned tory mps at the last election? for the liberal democrats, hull is an ultra—marginal. they have a majority ofjust one seat and have been strongly challenged there by labour, and they have slim majorities of just two seats in cotswold in gloucestershire and also in north devon. of the hung councils, plymouth is a top labour target and portsmouth a top target for the lib dems. and these three councils at the bottom here, rochford, west lindsey and boston, we'll keep a close watch on them because they were conservative at the last election but are now hung after defections. can the conservatives win them back? lots to look out for tonight and tomorrow. our political editor chris

to schools in the tamworth area before children break up for half term.breakfast club entitlement. but even during school closures, when the children weren't getting their free school meals, we would do breakfast club deliveries to their home. so they would have their breakfast food, their school lunches each week, either as a voucher or as a hamper. every week, the school will allow parents to come and help themselves to donated food. but i've also been told of some schools where they've set up washing stations where parents can bring in their washing and avoid the high price of electricity and washing powder. last year, every pupil was given a free pair of school shoes. the school's motto is that learning is an adventure, and like many schools across the region, it ensures that lessons for life extend well beyond the playgrounds. joan cummins, bbc news. joining us now are ema wilkes from “neo community“, a charity which provides local communities with food assistance along with primary school teacher, emily morris. good morning, emily and ema. give us a

really, is disappointment as you say for the conservatives, they have lost some key councils like tamworthhire as well, labour as well making some gains that they really wanted to gain, paces like medway, but also stoke and plymouth and middlesbrough as well, labourare and plymouth and middlesbrough as well, labour are saying these are the kinds of areas, whether that is southern marginals, the midlands, teesside, that they would need to win in a general election if they were to form the next government. i think the party with the biggest smiles on theirfaces think the party with the biggest smiles on their faces this morning would be the liberal democrats, they feel they are exceeding expectations, they have gained from the conservatives windsor and maidenhead, that is the seat of the former tory prime minister to us a. i think they are saying that this is indicative, that they are on course to potentially gain more in that so—called blue wall area which are currently held by conservatives. i have heard some tory mps and ministers this morning talking about labour's results and how they a
