What is happening across the wider picture?
Elsewhere in England, the Conservative party has suffered widespread loss in Rishi Sunak's first electoral test as prime minister.
They have lost control of eight councils, including Plymouth, Stoke-on-Trent, and Medway.
Labour claimed the results could mean Sir Keir Starmer will be the next man in Downing Street.
Mr Sunak insisted it was "hard to draw firm conclusions" from the initial results after speaking to staff at Conservative Campaign Headquarters in central London this morning.
He told broadcasters he was "not detecting any massive groundswell of movement towards the Labour Party or excitement for its agenda" despite the Opposition gains.
"It's always disappointing to lose hardworking Conservative councillors, they're friends, they're colleagues, and I'm so grateful to them for everything they've done," he added.
