Ok day

YORKSHIRE POST RESULTS SERVICE FROM YOUR COUNCIL

• Barnsley • Bradford • Calderdale • Craven • Harrogate • Hull • Kirklees • Leeds • Rotherham • Sheffield • Wakefield

Bad Day:

Nationally - Lose more than 100 council seats, lose significant numbers of seats to Plaid Cymru in Wales and become third party on vote share to Conservatives in Scotland.

Locally - Ukip makes more gains in Rotherham, Sheffield and gains foothold in West Yorkshire. Lose control of Calderdale to Conservatives.

What the leadership will say: “Most of these council seats were last contested in 2012 at a high point in the polls for Labour so you can’t draw conclusions from this result. There’s still four years to go to the General election.

CONSERVATIVES

Good day

Nationally - Removes Labour’s last presence in south councils, becomes second party in Scotland, Zac Goldsmith wins in London.

Locally - Takes seats across West Yorkshire, takes control of Calderdale, force Labour into minority control in Bradford

What the leadership will say: “This is a stunning endorsement of the Conservatives a year after the public put us in Government and a damning verdict on Corbyn-led Labour.

Average day

Nationally - Gains more than 50 council seats, improves performance in Scotland and runs Labour close in London.

Locally - Maintains council numbers in West Yorkshire, holds onto Humberside police and crime commissioner.

What the leadership will say: “This Government has had to take unpopular decisions since the General Election but as our long term economic plan continues to deliver growth and jobs we’re confident that will feed through in elections in the years to come.”

Bad day

Nationally - Loses more than 100 seats, particularly in North and urban areas, fails to make progress in Scotland and trounced in London.

Locally - Labour takes outright control of Calderdale and strengthens grip in Bradford. Labour wins Humberside PCC.

What the leadership will say: “Clearly the EU referendum has proved a major distraction but once that’s out the way the party will be better positioned to put its case to the public.”

LIB DEMS

Good day:

Nationally - Wins 100 council seats and makes Scottish Parliament gains. Clear third in London.

Locally - Big gains in Sheffield, Harrogate, Hull and Kirklees.

What the leadership will say: “This result destroys the argument of all those who claimed the Lib Dems were dead and buried after the General Election.

Average day:

Nationally - 50 council seats gained and Scottish seats retained.

Locally - An end to the years of losses dating back to 2011 when party was thrown out of power in cities including York, Hull and Sheffield.

What the leadership will say: “After years of disappointing results our recovery was never going to materialise in a single set of elections but we’ve shown the British public are ready to listen to us again.”

Bad day:

Nationally - Losses of up to 100 council seats, wiped out in Scottish Parliament and Welsh assembly.

Locally - Another round of seats lost in former Yorkshire strongholds.

What the leadership will say: “Clearly the British public is still angry at our decision to go into Coalition in the national interest in 2010. We’re confident our community approach to politics will pay dividends in the long term.”
