currently 6.15pm +97 Ind cllrs to +37 Green Cllrs, people have started to realise

@ 5pm Ind were up 82 cllrs and 1 council, Greens were up 23 cllrs. They look like they may win Bristol but looks like Independents will outperform again thank the lord. Perhaps if the LGA ind group just had Independents , we may end up with more independent councils.

that Blackpool smashing will mean Sunak will be under huge pressure 117 votes ahead of reform 26% swing ,cannot survive Laura Kuenssberg Chris Mason , hes gone by PMQs

wow currently tories losing 60% of the seats they have defended, And they usually start well and get worse, Could be smashed to bits, Independent Numbers right up as well by the way

not sure who from tory hq thought it was a good idea to send Gullis out to defend tonights results but on reflection dare I say there may have been better choices?

Not that anyone will take any notice of me but for local elections Id plead with them to consider Independent candidates, Theres no place for ideology at local level, party politics damages councils , no good comes of it, Vote for who will look after your patch , not their party

Good luck tomorrrow to Nick Evans 🇬🇧🇺🇦 . I dont share your politics but I know you to be a good hard working chap, remember whatever happens is not a reflection on you.

when you get old and wizened like me and you have seen a lot of highs and a few more lows in football , following your team, you forget how much it matters when your 15 dont you ? Gutted Number 2 son currently

anyone on the Forest had any PCC election leaflets ? ive not even seen one, just had a conversation with one interested party. the always informative Nick Evans 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Watch the webcasts of meetings & hear some of the party who lead the administration say they don't understand or ask to be shown by more experienced cllrs what they should be looking for because they are new!

thoughts today with Natalie King & Nicola Bird the AccXel family and the Bell family. I hope you can celebrate the extraordinary life of a true Forest of Dean legend. The legacy will go on . #forester #legend

well we wanted the tie to be all but over after the first leg and I think we can say it probably is

Id have settled for a three team 7 match league fight last July for sure. Could be a massive point today , at some point we are going to start taking our chances, Come on lets not wginhe or criticise , the lads need us now , not when we win 7-0 #YNWA

The world of affordable rural housing is more complex and daunting than I ever could have imagined, Never been one to shirk a challenge however and with knowledgable and driven colleages support GRCC - Supporting Communities in Gloucestershire ACRE we will make a difference, we simply must !

Would be great in this cesspit of a world if people just drop their tribal shit when it comes to football.

Don’t mock Hillsborough or Heysel or Munich. Stop using terms like bin dippers and murderers or that victims chant while pretending it’s not about what it’s actually about.

I hope our two local publications will perhaps reflect that this week has gone too far ? Forest Review & Forester probably need to explain whether thats a genuine article or a paid for feature , But thats just my view

Local media should not be politically biased in my view, It becomes a very dangerous place when it is. I hope our two local publications will perhaps reflect that this week has gone too far ?
