Hmm, seems a bit underwhelming all around. No great gains for Labour and a few troubling losses. Tories do better than expected but still tenuous. Lib Dems have a good showing but not the anti-Brexit wave they hoped for.
For those wanting an idea of the larger significance of these results so far, the Thrasher Projection, which calculates what result the party's proportion of the local election vote seen tonight would result in if the whole country was voting in a GE, came up with these numbers:
Tories: 305Labour: 261SNP: 35Lib Dem: 26Others: 23https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/992287533600948229This would mean the Tories would lose the ability to govern with a majority by teaming up with the DUP. Labour, however, would still be a few seats short, even with all the other non-Tory/DUP parties' support. In essence, the hungiest of hung parliaments.
