Alles, was an Meldungen bislang hereinkommt, ist sehr positiv für Reform UK:
Havering in east London is one of Reform's top targets - and a well-placed local Reform source tells me "we are smashing it all over the place and I'm very confident of taking control".
The council is currently run as a minority administration by local residents' associations and they seem to think that's coming to an end tonight.
Labour only have a large handful of councillors and the question facing them is - will they be wiped out?
If Reform win it will be their first London council. The dire financial situation, which has seen the council borrow more than £230m from central government in recent years, will be their top challenge
Havering ist in Khans Shithole.

Wir wollen die Tories nicht vergessen, denen ein ähnliches Fiasko ins Haus steht, wie den Labours. In Essex scheinen die Tories selbst Sitze, die selbst 2024 noch sicher waren, zu verlieren.
An REFORM UK

I'm covering the election to Basildon Borough Council in Essex.
Kevin Blake, a senior Basildon Tory who is defending Burstead - one of their safest seats - has told us he expects to lose his seat, and thinks it has been a bad night for the Conservatives.
He is also repeated what another Tory source told me - that turnout has been near general election levels in parts of Basildon.
Blake thinks Reform could take all the seats that are up in Basildon for the district authority.
An independent councillor has also told me it looks like Reform UK have won all 14 seats that are up in Basildon.

Es geht jetzt Schlag auf Schlag.
Sieht nach einem Durchmarsch von Reform UK aus.

Guten Morgen.
Die Wahlwelt, wie sie sich derzeit darstellt.
Labour hat die Kontrolle über eine Reihe von Councils in der Red Wall, also dem Heartland der Labour Party verloren und geht wohl selbst in London unter. Die Auszählungen in Wales und Schottland beginnen ab 10.00 Uhr BST.
Nicht in allen Councils, in denen gestern gewählt wurde, werden ALLE Councilor neu gewählt.
