The great political balancing act

Heather Jameson says the big political shake-up to come out of the local elections has to be the swinging pendulum of power at the LGA.

The electorate has spoken. I'm just not entirely convinced I understood what it was trying to say.

Is the message that it likes Jeremy Corbyn more than was predicted, dislikes David Cameron even more – or is it just voting on local government rather than delivering their verdict on national politics? I hope it's the latter.
