| To some extent, these results tell us what we already knew: The Conservatives are way behind Labour in the coming battle for who gets into No 10. | |
| Despite the psychological damage of the West Midlands result last night, there is no appetite among Conservative MPs to get rid of Rishi Sunak - but it is very difficult to see what the government does next that is suddenly going to make a difference. | |
| The Tories use this language about needing to be seen to deliver. That's what their one and only successful mayoral candidate, Ben Houchen in Tees Valley, was saying after his win. | |
| Some will say the Tories have had 14 years to deliver, and it is very difficult to see what will change their minds now. | |
| Labour are hugely emboldened by this weekend - and while these are local elections, they do to some extent show many more voters are comfortable voting for the party. | |
| Sir Keir Starmer will be looking ahead at the next general election feeling a lot more confident than the prime minister. | |
