There might not be any local elections in London tomorrow - but the results will certainly be felt in Westminster.
There are elections in parts of every region across England, apart from London. Around 70% of England's electorate have the opportunity to vote.
First, then, it is worth spelling out the principal reason why these elections matter: they decide who governs closest to us, who will mould the places we live and work, who will run so many of the public services we rely on. The councillors elected this week, alongside those already in place not fighting elections, will face almighty difficulties.many local authorities have finances that are in a "critical state".
Plenty are cutting spending on services. Even more are putting up, or planning to put up, council tax.Demands for adult social care, housing and children's services are spiralling for many councils, as more people turn for help with the cost of living squeeze.And all of this as councils, like the rest of us, deal with the consequences of inflation.There is also the political mood-making bit of these elections: they are a brutal gauge of popularity, or otherwise, for party leaderships.
Both the Conservatives and Labour did pretty badly in those local elections. The Liberal Democrats and the Green Party did pretty well.
