A few results of the local elections are starting to trickle in – but the majority won’t emerge until much later in the day.
Of the 136 local authorities in England holding elections, 46 were due to count and declare results overnight.
This gave us some early clues to how all the parties are faring – but the fuller picture won’t emerge until much later, when the future of councils in England, half a dozen mayoralties, Holyrood, and the Senedd are confirmed.
Counting won’t get under way in Scotland and Wales until 9am, when ballots will be checked in 86 local authorities in England – and six mayoral contests.
