-1,000 

[CheshireDave]

-1003 and counting. What a pity.

[Jiminy Cricket]

Tories -1,000 seats! 13 more council results to report.

[lobsterboy]

over 1000 now.

[Millie]

Woop

[Red Beret]

-1012

Labour now the largest party in local government for the first time since 2002.

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

The 1000+ numbers are gross?
Guardian has net figure at around 840 net losses which is still tremendous.

[gazzalfc]

Raising a glass to those 1000+ tonight.

Message to those councillors tonight. Get fucked

Message to those tory MP's. We're coming for you

[PeterJM]

75 people in the Dingle voted Tory....

All them big houses off Riverside Drive fall under Dingle don't they?

That's my guess where a lot of them votes would come from.

[Elmo!]

Greens are absolutely smashing it.

So they could lose well over 1000 then?

They’ve gone over now, currently at 1015

[TheShanklyGates]

The Tories have done even worse than their doomsday expectation management prediction

I think the Guardian update once whole councils are declared while BBC is doing it seat by seat.

That will be my guess as well. Funny enough she didn't canvas our house .

"roughly in line with projections...."

[lobsterboy]

1021, even beating their worst case scenario now.

[Jiminy Cricket]

I see that UKIP lost 25 seats and are down to zero! They did stand candidates, yes?

[Jiminy Cricket]

Not sure about that, because the BBC also reports how many councils have yet to declare.

If those sandal wearing hippies split the vote and let the Tories in at the next GE I’m gonna be very pissed off

Nice one mate. That’s even better. Brilliant news.

[Jiminy Cricket]

"roughly in line with projections...."

Who's that from? Or, are you predicting this as the Tory response?

It seems that people are voting more tactically now. If this carries over the GE, the results will be even worse for the Tories.

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Finally, some cheer in world affairs.

[lobsterboy]

Both Kuenssberg and Charlotte Wright on the unbiased BBC referred to Labour campaigners as "activists"

[Red Beret]

[Dr. Beaker]

-1038!

Indeed mate, indeed.

I ventured in to the estate a couple of weeks for the first time ever, some amazing houses down there mate.

Can you put the clip up for context mate, a few of us might complain about that but we can't based on your line only.

[Statto Red]

Kent is almost a Tory free zone, they held Sevenoaks & Dartford, rest of the councils in Kent went to either Labour or NOC.

@lewis_goodall
Lib Dem source: “Finally the Conservatives have delivered on something they promised - 1,000 seats lost.”

Here's Wright. She calls them activists on her twitter as well. Cant find LK's one  but definitely a new BBC tactic.

Imagine the soft git turned up at the wrong Polling station again.

Fuck the Tories!!!

[andy07]

Don’t want to put a downer on the results which are excellent but really concerning that so many voted tory despite everything that they stand for.   A fair number of seriously deluded individual in this country.
