The overall national picture is a bit grim, but the results from #Exeter are actually surprisingly quite positive if that cheers anyone up a bit.

Labour 18 (lost 4)
Green 10 (+3)
LD 5 (+1)

Independent 2 (no change)

Reform 3 (+1)
Conservative 1 (-1)

So basically we've stuck with 33 progressive, 2 independent, 4 rightwing, just shuffled them about a bit. And I'm hoping the new Greens will be a bit less jumpy about motor lobby astroturfing on Facebook encouraging them to remove traffic calming measures than Labour were.
