#UK #Politics
100+ local councils had #elections yesterday.
After a mere 27 councils have declared their results, the Tories have already lost over 80 councillors! It's a bloodbath and it's about damned time!
@stueytheround Sweet! Is this across all countries in the UK?
@JeniRizio Just England this time, which is a pretty big deal because that's where the Tories have dominated for so long. Scotland is *mostly* SNP. Neither the Tories nor Labour do very well there. Wales tends to be split between Labour, Plaid Cymru and others. Northern Ireland is a different kettle of fish altogether.
@stueytheround Great news for England! My hope is for progress there, and better treatment of the Celtic nations.
@JeniRizio Sadly, even assuming this translates to a Labour win in the general election later this year, I doubt Westminster's attitude to our Celtic neighbours will change much. We can only hope.
@stueytheround welcome to the quiet revolution.
