Local election results: Relief for Sunak in key mayoral race - but Labour wins in PM's backyard

The Tories have suffered some historic losses in Thursday's local elections, while Labour also claimed a big victory in the Blackpool South by-election. But in a relief for the prime minister, the Tory mayor of Tees Valley will keep his job.

Former Conservative justice secretary David Gauke has said he expects Rishi Sunak to survive as PM following these results. 

He told Sky News they were largely expected and the Conservatives "were always going to get a kicking". 

It also "could conceivably have gone worse", he says, adding the Tories have been buoyed by Ben Houchen's win in Tees Valley and there is "optimism" for Andy Street in the West Midlands. 

Asked whether Rishi Sunak will survive, he says: "I think he will." 

Mr Gauke says the "threat of a coup attempt has receded" despite some concern a few weeks ago. 

"I don't think there's any momentum behind that idea [now]," he says. 

He adds this will be a "relief" for Number 10. 

More success for Labour. 

The party has gained Tamworth from no overall control, taking nine seats directly from the Conservatives.

It's the morning after the day before for Beth, Ruth and Jess as they pull apart the local election results they have so far.

They discuss what big council losses for the Conservatives could mean for the Rishi Sunak narrative. How does the re-election of Ben Houchen as Tees Valley mayor help him?

Also – are there some niggles for Labour within the results, especially with Muslim communities? Jess explains what she thinks the impact of the Middle East conflict could be in Birmingham.

Plus, all three discuss John Swinney as a contender for Scotland's first minister.

The Liberal Democrats used people dressed in dinosaur suits to push a very subtle point about wanting to make the "Conservative government history".

Leader Sir Ed Davey was joined by the blow-up characters for a rally in Winchester to celebrate his party making gains. 

"We need a general election now," he told activists. 

"No matter how long Rishi Sunak stays squatting in Downing Street, the Liberal Democrat general election campaign starts today to make this Conservative government history."

Labour's election success continues as we go into the early evening, with the party gaining another council from the Conservatives.

The Tories have lost 11 seats at Cannock Chase , with Labour gaining the same number. The Lib Dems no longer have a seat, while the Green Party has gained one.

In the North West, Labour has also held Manchester , Trafford and Rossendale .

It's kept Leeds and Wakefield in West Yorkshire as well as Rotherham in South Yorkshire. 

Coventry and Sandwell in the West Midlands are also Labour holds, along with Crawley in the South East.

Elsewhere, the Lib Dems remain in control of St Albans .

We're hearing now from our political editor Beth Rigby on that projection for Labour to be the largest party at the general election but fail to win a majority. 

Beth has been discussing this with Labour sources in recent days, who she says would argue they are not trying to gain vote share in safe seats and are instead targeting battlegrounds. 

"For their tests it's can they pick up seats in marginal constituencies and the battlegrounds they need for a general election majority," she says. 

One source said Labour is on course to win a majority, arguing independents and other small parties won't get 24% of the vote share at a general election. 

They have been saying they are "very happy" with how the vote is distributed around the country. 

The party has also said it should be taken into account how much better they are expected to do in Scotland with a weakened SNP. 

Beth says these elections show the public believes the government is the problem - the question now is whether Labour is the answer. 

"When you look at the number of seats lost by the Conservatives and picked up by Labour, this is not a story of straight switching from the Conservatives to Labour," she says. 

By Professor Michael Thrasher, Sky News elections analyst

After counting more than two million votes cast in the English council elections, a provisional National Share Estimate shows the Conservatives on just 26% of the vote, a 19-point drop compared with the 2019 general election and one of its worst ever performances in any set of local elections.

Labour's vote rises from 33% in 2019 to 35% on the current estimate, after more than half the wards have now declared.

The Liberal Democrats are on 16%, an increase of five percentage points on the 2019 election. This follows a familiar pattern where the party does better in council elections than in parliamentary elections.

Other parties, such as the Greens, Reform, and independents, are projected to be on 22%.

This figure assumes also that votes for the nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales, places where no local elections took place, are unchanged from the previous election. The same condition applies to the 18 seats in Northern Ireland.

A special edition of our flagship weeknight politics show  Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge  will be live on Sky News from 7pm.

The fast-paced programme dissects the inner workings of Westminster, with interviews, insights, and analysis - bringing you, the audience, into the corridors of power.

Sophy will be joined by Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride , Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper , Reform leader Richard Tice , Lib Dem Helen Morgan , and elections analyst Michael Thrasher .

And on her panel tonight will be:

• James Starkie , former Home Office adviser;
• Caroline Flint , former Labour MP and minister.

Sir Keir Starmer has hailed Labour's victory in York and North Yorkshire as "an amazing moment in history".

Speaking in Northallerton after David Skaith's victory by almost 15,000 votes in Rishi Sunak's backyard, the Labour leader said while the party had seen "really good results" across the board, this was "a very, very special moment".

He said Labour had earned the "trust and respect" of voters "right in the prime minister's constituency".

The vote is a signal that people want "change", Sir Keir said.

"People are fed up with a failed government and they've registered that here.

"They're fed up with the mess and the division and the chaos, the sewage, the hospitals that don't work, the infrastructure, the potholes - you could go on."

Sir Keir vowed to everyone who voted Labour in the mayoral election that the party would not let them down.

"We have heard your message of change and we will deliver for you a better Britain," he said to applause from supporters at Northallerton Town FC.

North Yorkshire is becoming less Conservative, Labour's winning mayoral candidate has said.

The area, which has elected a mayor for the first time, contains Rishi Sunak's constituency of Richmond.

Labour has historically struggled to compete in parliamentary elections there.

David Skaith took 35.1% of the vote for Labour - ahead of Conservative candidate Keane Duncan's 27.3%.

Asked what his victory means in a "very Conservative area", Mr Skaith replied: "I think in traditional terms it has been [very Conservative], but obviously not now."

'I'm willing to work with PM'

He added: "I think the really big thing is actually we've really made it about York in North Yorkshire because that's what this role is about. 

"It's really about the place in the region itself, and we've really got out on the doorstep and spoken to people and they've really, really enjoyed that message that we're fighting for York, North Yorkshire."

Asked about working with the prime minister, Mr Skaith said: "I look forward to working with him. 

"If he's willing to work, then I'm willing to work with him."

Keane Duncan admitted: "It's been tough. It's difficult out there right now."

He added: "We've got to reflect, we've got to rebuild."
