looks as expected that Reform won a load of seats and Labour lost a load.

There is a theory that the result of having incompetent grifters in council positions up and down the country making disastrously bad decisions will open people's eyes to just how bad Reform are, scuppering their GE chances. I'm not so sure, they'll do the usual trick of blaming everyone else and people who support them will believe what they want to believe.

It's the way of things these days.
