how your council voted and how the numbers map across England

All eyes had been on the outcomes from the “Crimson Wall” – Labour heartlands that swung to the Conservatives at the 2019 normal election. For the first time in the constituency’s historical past, the Tories beat Labour in the Hartlepool by-election, one other vote happening on Could 6.

Conservative good points across England loosened Labour’s grip on a number of key councils. 

With the election of 13 new Tory councillors, Labour misplaced management of the council in Durham, which it had held on to 100 years, in one other symbolic blow to the social gathering’s grip on the North of England.

One other symbolic council to alter fingers was Harlow, a neighborhood district in the west of Essex sometimes seen as a nationwide bellwether. 

The council has seen seven new Tory councillors, sufficient for the social gathering to achieve a majority after 9 years of Labour management.

Southampton was one other council to modify from pink to blue, with the election of seven new Tory councillors. 

Sir Keir Starmer has described his social gathering’s losses as “bitterly disappointing”, pledging his dedication to do “no matter is critical” to rebuild the belief of working individuals in Labour.
