Tories lose 676 seats as Nigel Farage's Reform bags local election landslide

Tory wipeout as Conservatives lose every single council and Labour is decimated, while Nigel Farage's Reform bags local election landslide. The Conservative Party has lost every council it was defending in the elections after it found itself squeezed between Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats. And matters are no better for Labour who are down 186 seats, including Durham - the spiritual home of the Labour movement - which fell after a century under the party's control.
