This is the closest we are going to get to final results in the #LocalElections this weekend.

There is still one ward outstanding: Glebe Farm and Tile Cross (Birmingham), which had two Labour councillors before the election, has gone to several recounts, and will not declare until Monday.

Only a handful of council seats left to declare, but now the party (or lack thereof) controlling each of the 136 councils is now clear.

And here they all, in all their finery.

Still waiting on 95 seats across five councils, and then the #LocalElections count will be complete.

Why are the #workingclass in the UK voting AGAINST their interests?!?

The right-wing kool-aid drinking whack job #ReformUK gives ZERO f*cks for the working class...

#ReformUK only adds to the division, hate, and fears of Wales, Scotland, etc.

These were the winners of all 96 #Senedd seats.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026

All of the results in Wales are now in.

Plaid Cymru finishes as the largest party, with Rhun ap Iorwerth set to become the new First Minister.

Reform leader Dan Thomas will become Leader of the Opposition. His party had no MSs at all before today.

Labour and the Conservatives have both collapsed, with the Greens and LibDems just scraping in.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 17:00:

We're three-quarters of the way through the declarations. Plaid Cymru will form the next government of Wales. They will probably be able to govern as a minority, but will need Labour's support to do so.

First Minister Eluned Morgan has lost her seat. This was somewhat expected, but still unprecedented.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 PROJECTION: PLAID CYMRU GOVERNMENT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

With over half of seats declared, it's now certain that Plaid Cymru will be the largest party in the #Senedd.

Plaid and Labour look like they'll have a majority between them, meaning Labour could end up as the junior partner in a coalition government. Though it may also be possible for Plaid to govern as a minority.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026

Labour has held the mayoralty of #Newham, fending off challenges from the Newham Independents Party and the Green Party.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #LocalElections

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 16:00:

Plaid Cymru is starting to open up a lead over all other parties.

The Labour vote has collapsed, though they may still find themselves as part of the next Welsh government (albeit as the junior partner).

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

Welsh Green leader Anthony Slaughter has taken one of the seats in Caerdydd Penarth.

Plaid Cymru has won three seats in this constituency, with Reform and Labour winning the other two.

Plaid Cymru now has the lead in seat terms for the first time.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

Plaid Cymru and Reform take two seats each in Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg. The Conservatives and Labour each take one.

Former Welsh Conservatie leader Andrew RT Davies retains his seat.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 15:00:

One constituency declared so far, with Plaid Cymru and Reform currently leading.

There's no chance of any party winning an overall majority thanks to the new electoral system. Labour could still be in government, but as the junior coalition partner to Plaid Cymru.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

First result from Wales.

Reform and Plaid Cymru take two seats each. Labour and the Conservatives take one each.

Welsh Reform leader Dan Thomas has won one of the seats here.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

The first mayoral race has been declared, and it is a Green gain from Labour in #Hackney.

Caroline Woodley got nearly 60% of the vote here 4 years ago. Now, Zoë Garbett has defeated her on a collosal swing.

#ukpoli #Election2026 #LocalElections

This is my final #Senedd seat projection.

This will be a big breakthrough for Plaid Cymru, but they're not entirely knocking Labour out of power. As the new electoral system is more proportional than the one it replaces, it's likely that Plaid will need Labour support in order to govern.

#ukpoli

We're less than a fortnight away from the Scottish Parliament elections.

While an SNP overall majority is possible, I don't think it's the most likely outcome. It will mostly come down to the constituencies, and many of those are simply too close to call. If they do break the SNP's way, any majority could happen on a 30% vote share. So much for proportional representation.

In Scotland... on these numbers, it would be difficult to see how the SNP can credibly argue any mandate for an #indyref2.

Might there be a majority of pro-independence MSPs? 50:50.
Will that be on a majority of votes? Not even close.

Are we living through a new Vi...

In the UK, they have a super rich former human rights lawyer, turned fascist PM, breaking multiple human rights of domestic/international citizens, for capitalist gains.
In BC, Canada, we have a super rich former civil liberties lawyer, turned fascist adjacent-neoliberal Premier, breaking multiple human rights of domestic/international citizens, for capitalist gains.

Dirty rotten sellout souls. In our governments. Globally, now.

I can't believe we're this far into the US trade war and I still see media stories suggesting that tariffed countries are "paying", and in the literal sense.

If the media is this confused about something so simple, I don't know what hope there is for ever having any kind of substantive public discourse.

Hey European and UK netizens, if you truly want to see Canada survive this, while emerging from this stronger, and making a failed reality TV star look stupid, then consider e-mailing/calling your elected representatives and asking them to expand trade with Canada.
