Alright - I've much more to say but not enough time to say it as I ended up going out.
Suffice to say -1000 was the absurdly high number Tories put out for expectation management - they actually achieved that. π
I might go in depth about results I'm happy with, ones I'm not, interesting ones, ones I know a bit more of. But, like, on Sunday when everyone's moved on.

It has been a long and at times extremely tense day! The big news was Anastasia Wiest being elected as the fourth Green on Manchester City Council for Woodhouse Park π We did it again!! #LocalElections2022 #VoteGreen

Generally looking like a mauling for the Tories and one that looks like Labour and Lib Dems will be able to capitalise on come the election.
Seen a few places where the Tories still strong, or lost to localists, indicating both Labour and Lib Dem weak in the area, but given these don't include fucking Windsor (the king is no longer locally represented by a Tory) I can live with that.
More thoughts later when more results are in.

Voted this morning. It felt good as it always does. Local elections are so, so important. In my community there is a proposal to create a segregated school district. I hope people see it for what it is. I've spent the last 6 months organizing against it. Now it's in the hands of voters.

After that shocking Lib Dem attack ad from Labour in #LocalElections2022 it appears there's an even worse one attacking the Greens, which was apparently doing the rounds in the West Midlands:
This is going to take a π§΅to unpick ...

RT @RidgeOnSunday: "People are really sick and tired at being taken for granted".
@LibDemDaisy praises the party's "fantastic" set of results at the #LocalElections2022, and says she is 'hopeful" they can secure Dominic Raab's seat at the next general election.

RETWEET if you agree: #Partygate, full version of the Sue Gray report and Conservative losses in #LocalElections2022 are far more important than Keirβs korma.

π€£π€£I wish I saw this last week
What's this?πA new party political broadcast from the #farright?
The far right don't want you to vote because they win when political apathy is high.
π’So if you don't fancy sending everyone back to where they came from, VOTE ON 5TH MAY. #LocalElections2022 @eddiemarsan https://t.co/sK9ldpujU3
