The Conservatives and Labour have been punished by voters in local elections as pro-Remain parties pick up seats.
The Conservatives on Friday morning had lost over 430 seats, with the Lib Dems performing particularly well to gain over 300 seats and several councils, and Labour struggling to capitalise on the anti-Conservative mood with a current net loss of over 80 seats.Labour's Brexit split deepensThe first sign of a possible shift on Brexit following these results has been from Labour, with Shadow Chancellor John McDonnellthat"so far message from local elections-"Brexit - sort it.
The difficulty for pro-dealers in the Labour party is that while the party does appear to have suffered in Leave-voting seats, it has also suffered in Remain areas as well, with the biggest winners from these elections appearing to be smaller parties with a clear anti-Brexit position. In other words Labour's Brexit divide remains, with both sides still willing to use these results to confirm their pre-existing positions.
The other major factor preventing a breakthrough for May is the fact that she has already accepted that she is a prime minister on her way out. By committing not to lead the party into the next stage of Brexit talks, May has lost what little authority she had left in the party.
