The thing you’ve got to understand about these elections is that we’re going into them with incredible headwinds: inflation, economic uncertainty, £22bn black hole. I honestly reckon it’ll be a huge win for us just to keep the 300-odd council seats we have.

Look, these are seats that we won in 2021 when we’d just released the vaccine. So just because we’re going backwards, it doesn’t mean we’re not, in a way, also going forwards. We had nearly a thousand last time. This time, I’ll be relieved with anything over 100.

Reform are going to storm these elections. 1,000 seats? 2,000? I don’t know, but it will be a LOT. There’s a revolution sweeping Britain. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Keir Starmer just resigns on Friday and tells the King to make me prime minister.

That was a triumph! You can report a Number 10 source saying Keir is satisfied but taking nothing for granted and getting on with the job.

Actually, given where we started, Kemi is delighted that we didn’t lose more. It’s a total vindication of the decisions she’s taken as leader.

OP NOTE: Ed Davey will be using an orange jackhammer today to tunnel under a blue wall to a red bell that he will ring to celebrate the electorate’s decision to call time on Britain’s old politics.
