Boris Johnson’s Conservatives are counting their losses as the party lost flagship seats Westminster and Wandsworth in the 2022 local election.The Tories were dealt a blow in the traditionally blue boroughs, with Labour taking Westminster City Council for the first time since its creation half a century ago.Wandsworth was considered the jewel in the Tories’ crown, where the party consistently trumpeted among the lowest council tax rates in Britain.
The south west London borough was considered one of Margaret Thatcher’s favourites.Keir Starmer’s Labour also regain control of Barnet, an area of north London with a large Jewish population, in what the leader has hailed as a vote of confidence in the party’s progress in tackling the party’s anti-semitism scandal.Results in key battlegrounds are yet to come, as the Croydon and Tower Hamlets counts continue throughout the day.
walsall election results 2022
Conservatives in Walsall bucked the national trend and increased their majority in this year’s local election. The Tories claimed the Blakenhall seat from Labour and defended the 12 which were up for ballot giving them a total of 38 of the 60 seats available.
Nationally, the Conservatives had suffered shock losses which have been attributed to what has been going on in Westminster. But a delighted Walsall Council leader Mike Bird said they had focused on what was happening locally and had a mandate to continue tackling issues such as fly-tipping, regenerating the town centre and transforming the authority.
Walsall Labour group leader Aftab Nawaz said he was disappointed to lose Blakenall and not make in-roads into the Conservatives’ majority but pleased he held on to his St Matthews seat.

brent election results 2022
Like many local authorities, Wokingham has started counting local election results during the day as a result of the pandemic. Counting will take place throughout Friday, May 6, as a result of this change.
Labour maintained its strong grip in Brent after it secured a healthy majority at this year’s local elections. It returned 49 out of 57 councillors, with the Conservatives taking five seats and the Liberal Democrats winning three. While it’s a resounding victory it means Labour, which has been in power in Brent since 2010, has lost a small amount of ground, having won 57 of the 63 seats four years ago when there were more up for grabs.
Changes to the ward boundaries mean there are six fewer seats on the council than in 2018. A number of new wards were introduced as part of the boundary changes, with Labour completing a clean sweep of 15 councillors across Harlesden and Kensal Green, Kingsbury, Cricklewood and Mapesbury, Roundwood, Wembley Hill and Wembley Park.
Before the election, there were four Conservative councillors – despite a poor showing nationally, the Brent branch will be encouraged by the increase to its representation on the council. And the Liberal Democrats will be pleased to see two more councillors join Cllr Anton Georgiou as they look to increase their influence on council decision making.
