With all the results declared in England the Conservatives have lost over 1,300 councillors while Labour has also seen dozens of losses. The Lib Dems and Greens have both made significant gains, with the Lib Dems gaining more than 700 councillors and the Greens nearly 200.

Independent candidates have also made unusually large gains, as shown by the rise of "Others" in the above chart.

Professor Sir John Curtice has calculated how Thursday's vote would translate across Britain. This projection of the national vote share puts Labour and the Conservatives both on 28%.

The Lib Dems were the big winners in terms of councils, taking over 10, seven of which were at the expense of the Conservatives. Their most impressive victory was in Chelmsford where they flipped a majority of 23.

Meanwhile, UKIP lost councillors in many areas. The biggest loss came in their old heartland of Thanet, where former-leader Nigel Farage campaigned unsuccessfully to become an MP in 2015.

UKIP lost nearly everything, while the Tories and Labour lost a lot.

This BBC article will be proven wrong after the results of the coming EU
elections. Farage and his Brexit party will mop the floor. And slaughter both
The Tory and Labor party.
The results will be the true indicator of Leave vs Remain.
And Remain will be stormed by the Brexit Party.

Hmm.. Did you read the article? It just talks about the local council elections where the Tories, Labour and UKIP were trounced.

For the EU elections it looks like the Brexit party would get between 19 to 28 seats ou of the 73 that the UK gets in the EU parliament. A victory for them, but the pro Remain parties of the Liberal Democrats and the Greens and SNP are slated to win 38 with the rest probably being Labour or the Tories both of whom are pro Brexit

We shall see won’t we.
