Alright - I've much more to say but not enough time to say it as I ended up going out.

Suffice to say -1000 was the absurdly high number Tories put out for expectation management - they actually achieved that. 👍

I might go in depth about results I'm happy with, ones I'm not, interesting ones, ones I know a bit more of. But, like, on Sunday when everyone's moved on.

@JdeBP The #YorkshireParty isn't what it once was. Not a single candidate in our ward for the #LocalElections23.

Just seen the results for the #EastRiding #LocalElections23. The #ToriesOut! Time to crack open the Champagne! We no have no single party in control, which means they'll have to govern by consensus as opposed to dictat... what a tragedy! 😁 🍾 🎉

Abysmal turnout. Don't see that changing in the short term. But today has given me a little hope for the future!
