what really changed in the west midlands, the conservative vote went right down. labour's vote went down as well but the fact for the conservative vote went down so much was what got labour over the line. there is the swing. conservatives to labour, a.6%. that was the big result from last night but there was another really important result yesterday, in the capital, london. here it is. sadiq khan comfortably beating the conservative's susan harle, 207,000 votes, this time a lot more. this is what the swing look like, a 3.2% swing from the conservatives to labour. the tories were hoping they could clawback more ground in london to run a close and that did not happen. it was pretty comfortable for sadiq khan in the end. so, the big picture, across england for local councils, there is only one left to declare. this is pretty much the finished picture and is a similar picture, labour doing well, up 185, the doing terribly, down a73, losingjust under half of all the seats they were defending. you will notice the lib dems are above the conservatives in that. they put in

across the midlands, yorkshire, the south—east of england. it is slowly pushing northwards and eastwards. compare that photo to this one where we have got the warmest of the weather, the best of the sunshine across parts of the highlands. very little will change through the next few days. it does stay very unsettled and it is always more cloudy and cool towards eastern coast with plenty of moving in from the north sea. here is the area of low pressure. it is putting us weather front very slowly northwards and eastwards but it is practically installing, and it is more or less stationary. through the rest of the afternoon still some rain on it but the rain is gradually weakening. here is that sunshine. watch out for a few showers for the aberdeenshire coast and further west of northern ireland, wales, the south—west of angled, centraland ireland, wales, the south—west of angled, central and southern event, the west midlands, some sunny spells developing but also the chance of a few showers. temperatures above the seasonal average, few showe

they don't even have that cold comfort of the west midlands any more. and i think... and, as we could see from suella braverman today, the coup isn't happening. so that leaves the conservative party in a very odd place where, simultaneously lots of their mps think that they have the evidence that they're doomed, but they don't want to change leader because many of them think that would make it worse. i mean, they're stuck, aren't they? i mean, they are really, really stuck. that's the thing that i see — a sense about the conservative party. they're stuck believing that they are on their way to what commissar melvyn on dischord has called starmergeddon... starmergeddon. ..after a terrible week for the tories. it is a takeaway. we can say that rishi sunak will lead the conservative party into the next election. it certainly would be weird at this stage. it would be really weird if he didn't. and i think in time, as i pompously wrote in a piece on the website, i think this weekend might see that this is sort of the moment their fate was sealed, if you like, because the

the midlands, east anglia and south—east england. where the sunshine comes out, it should feel quite pleasant. heading into bank holiday monday, low pressure to the south of the uk with this weather front still bringing the threat of some rain across southern counties of england. the rain may turn more showery in nature through the afternoon but those showers could be heavy and thundery. further north, we are likely to see some thunderstorms break out across parts of scotland and northern england as well but that still leaves part of wales into the midlands and parts of northern england where we will have the best of the day's sunshine breaking through. temperatures not doing too badly. highs between 15 and 17 degrees but then as we look at the forecast deeper into next week, high pressure is going to start to dominate the weather picture. not the strongest high you have ever seen so there will still be some showers around. and for tuesday, those showers are most likely to form across western areas of the country. the best of the sun
