(32 minutes later)
Yesterday, 102 councils across England declared their results in the local elections. There are 107 in total, so we're still waiting on five.
Labour has won more than 170 seats so far, making them the front runners with over 1,000 council seats. They have control of 48 councils now, taking control of eight councils yesterday. With a few council results still to come, as well as seven regional mayoral contests, Saturday still has plenty to offer anyone keeping an eye on this year’s local elections.
It lost control of Oldham in Greater Manchester, where two councillors quit the party over Gaza earlier this year. But if you want the story of the polls so far - our video team have combined the best bits into 60 seconds for you to watch.
The Conservatives have lost more than 440 seats, leaving them with over 470 seats in total. They lost 10 councils, including Basildon in Essex, which gained an iconic status for the Tories under Margaret Thatcher.
The Liberal Democrats have made modest gains of more than 100 councillors so far and won Tunbridge Wells. They failed to take control of West Oxfordshire and Wokingham, both target areas.
