Had a long time with some form of power in Brighton so I guess people have made their mind up locally.

If the Greens do badly here it'll probably be because of ward boundary changes, a reaction to them leading the Council through Covid, a recession and dealing with cuts and the national swing to Labour. What concerns me as a democrat is that Labour will probably try to introduce a cabinet style of council which will disenfranchise anyone who didn't vote for them.
15 Labour Green 4 and a recount in Regency a traditional Green ward, word is Labour are going to evict them along with the Green leader in Brunswick 
Nothing to do with low recycling rates, weed covered pavements, the inability to collect the rubbish, graffiti, potholes, closing public toilets, ULEZ, LTNs, VG3, OSR cycle lane, voting to build on greenfield sites, the i360 and general incompetence mixed with arrogance then ?
Argus reporting this as Labour crushing the Greens.
Will Labour get an overall majority?

I'd like to say how disappointed I am that @Falmerfourtickets missed out again, but it would be a lie so I won't.
I'm led to believe that the below represents a WIN for an NSCer.

*Amanda Grimshaw (Labour) 2,490
Faiza Baghoth (Labour) 2,435
*Dawn Barnett (Conservative) 1,906

Sarah FitzGerald (Green) 360
Andrew Coleman (Green) 238
Jamie Gillespie (Independent) 211
Nigel Tart (Green) 169
Ian Harris (Reform UK) 127
Turnout 43.37 per cent

Well so far Greens only have 4 councillors I’d say so and the icing on the cake will be Mac Cafferty getting ejected along with the large ginger lady
This is the very long weekend that keeps on giving

Dawn Barnett our on her arse, happy days.
It truly is, it looks like the Greens have been ejected and at last we have a majority council.
Labour source: 'We've got majority'
Labour are now very confident of securing a majority in Brighton and Hove City Council.A source in the party said: "We've got the majority, it just hasn't been announced it yet."
I’m popping opening the bubbly tonight after his behaviour recently.
The pound shop Boris Johnson is a loser again!
I hope he now ****s off somewhere else in the country to find a new constituency and even better, a new football team to support.

I'll miss her sour face and bonkers worldview in the Argus
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
One unsuccessful candidate was heard to have said:
"can you please delete all evidence of my standing in the election, all campaign material to be retrieved from households, and anything I've ever said or done deleted from the record...if there is one"

I really don't wish to appear shallow, but one of those Tory candidates in Hangleton appear to have a heavy heart (and surrounds)
