Local Election results 2015 (England)

[-:Undertaker:-]

Nobody seems to be covering the Local Elections as a whole which is weird, anywho results have been coming through slowly (I can only find the totals for England) and its been big gains for the Conservatives and Ukip. The BBC so far has the following results, not sure if all are counted yet.

And in an ironic twist, Ukip have gained control of their first ever council...... in Thanet.

Ukip has gained a shock council poll victory in Thanet, Kent - a day after former party leader Nigel Farage failed to win a Westminster seat, leading to his resignation. With counting finally completed in the local authority election, Ukip won 33 of 56 seats, while the Conservatives have 18, Labour four, and independents one.

Beyond delighted to hear #UKIP have taken control of Thanet Borough Council. Many congratulations to our new Council team. #localelections
