Last night there were 5 council by elections in the UK; 2 were Labour defences, 2 Tory defences, and 1 for the Kippers
- Buckley Bistre West (Flintshire) – Labour HOLD
- Gospel Oak (Camden) – Labour HOLD
- Thamesfield (Wadsworth) – Tories HOLD
- Stubbington (Fareham) – Lib Dem GAIN from UKIP
- Limestone Peak (High Peak) – Tories HOLD
In summation therefore:
- Labour: +/- 0
- Tories: +/- 0
- Lib Dems: +1
Quite striking that Stubbington (Fareham) has switched representatives from the most Anti Europe party to the most Pro Europe party. Mind you Labour held in a remain area in Camden and a leave area in Flintshire; maybe Brexit isn’t the be all and end all?
