UK Local Elections 2023: All Results Now In
Conservative Loses Control of Councils, Labour and Lib Dems Make Gains
The counting is now complete and all 230 councils in England have declared their results. The national and local results are available below.
Millions of voters went to the polls across Britain on Thursday in a general election that was widely expected to usher in a new era in British politics. The results have been closely watched by both domestic and international observers, as they are seen as a key test of the government's popularity.
In the end, the Conservatives lost control of several councils, including some that they had held for decades. Labour and the Liberal Democrats made gains at the expense of the Conservatives, with the Tories losing more than 1,000 seats overall.
The results are a major blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has been under increasing pressure to resign in recent months. The losses are likely to further weaken his position within the Conservative Party, and could lead to a leadership challenge.
