It's now mathematically impossible for the Conservatives to retain control of Nottinghamshire County Council.

Even if they won every seat left to declare, they'd be left with 33 seats - one short of a majority.

Reform UK are edging closer and closer to outright control of Nottinghamshire County Council.

Before today, most predicted them to pick up a decent number of seats - perhaps enough to be the junior partner in a coalition - but right now they’re smashing all expectations.

What’s striking is they’re picking up seats in places like Broxtowe as well as those areas where they’ve done well in past elections – such as Ashfield.

A handful more Reform gains and the council is theirs.
