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. 👍
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.

Just seen the results for the #EastRiding #LocalElections23. The #ToriesOut! Time to crack open the Champagne! We no have no single party in control, which means they'll have to govern by consensus as opposed to dictat... what a tragedy! 😁 🍾 🎉
Abysmal turnout. Don't see that changing in the short term. But today has given me a little hope for the future!

Hoping the #localelections23 give us some councillors brave enough to shout about the devastating reduction of funding from central government over the last 13 yrs. Its been frustrating how little anyone makes of it.
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.

He remains gracious in the face of the huge burden of a life of ultra luxury paid for by a history of slavery, land grabbing, stolen loot and robbing the tax payer. God bless ya sir, you deserve all those billions. Burden my arse

The Labour Party continue with their ‘outbtorynthe tories’ plan to be elected. What price power? The heart and soul of the party apparently

Like the look of this website, very useful tool for tactical voting in the UK. Want to stick it to the tories, this is the site for you.

@Beclfc We got our tory leaflet last week, still waiting for the Lib Dems, Labour and Greens to bother!
Just received our envelopes for postal voting from the council, which says 'open and return immediately. Do not delay.'

I remember the last local election when a tory pushed a leaflet through my door, and I gave it back, and he abused me as I have a Liverpool FC badge on the back of my car. Happy days...

The easiest way to avoid the kerfuffle of Voter ID is probably to apply for a postal vote, via the Electoral Commission, which you can do here:
