It's not been the night the Conservatives wanted in the local elections in England so far - with around a quarter of results declared
They've lost control of six authorities and more than 120 seats as counting continues.
Labour's making gains in vote share, and have won control of three councils.
While seats are changing hands, the overall councils are largely staying under the same control at this stage.
Results aren’t in for Surrey yet.
Spelthorne, Runnymede, and Reigate and Banstead are the Tory safe seats, and therefore may be affected by the current trends.
Epsom and Ewell say their verification will begin at around 9.30, with the final result expected at around 5pm.
The Tories lost Brentwood, and it was just short of a Lib Dem majority.
Sarah Olney is the Lib Dem MP for Richmond Park.
