  14. BBC Sunday Politics Midlands: Brexit shapes string of results

    Patrick Burns
    Political editor, Midlands

    Joining me for this week’s Sunday Politics Midlands will be the Conservative MP for Halesowen and Rowley Regis, James Morris, and the Labour MP for Birmingham Hodge Hill, Liam Byrne.

    We’ll be live in Stoke-on-Trent looking at the result of Thursday’s local elections with Councillor Abi Brown (Con) and Councillor Mohammed Pervez (Lab).

    As expected the impact of Brexit played a big part in shaping the results in a string of council areas.

    In leave-voting Walsall it was victory for the Conservatives. They also picked up seats in Stoke-on-Trent, but they lost overall control in Worcester.

    Leave-voting Dudleywas a dead heat between red and blue and in Telford, which also voted leave, Labour’s grip on power tightened.

    Rob Mayor tries to make sense of the new political landscape and ask what it means for Midlands politics?

    Join me for BBC Sunday Politics Midlands from 11:00 on BBC One.

  15. 'Public lost confidence in national politicians'

    Matthew Bone
    BBC Hereford & Worcester political reporter

    The Conservatives have lost control in Herefordshire, Malvern, the Wyre Forest and Worcester.

    In the Wyre Forest, the Tories lost six seats, leaving them with 14, as there were gains for smaller parties.

    Had Brexit been delivered, whether you be a Remainer or a Brexiteer, whether you're a fan of the prime minister or not, the difficulty is the public have lost confidence in national politicians, particularly the Westminster Parliament and that has been the reaction that I've heard on the doorsteps for some weeks now."

    Marcus Hart, Conservatives' Wyre Forest leader

  16. Smaller parties prove big winners

    Across the country, as in Warwick, smaller parties have been the big winners in the local elections.

    Conservative Andrew Mobbs, leader of the district council, lost his Kenilworth Park Hill seat to the Greens.

    He said naional and local politics had collided in this election.

    Did national politics drown out local issues?

    Green councillor Alix Dearing, who unseated Mr Mobbs, says Brexit was an issue, but not the only one.

    The council is now under no overall control, but Ms Dearing said there was a lot of room for "collaboration" to benefit the residents of Kenilworth.

  17. City Independents 'seemed like natural outlet'

    Peter Wilson
    BBC Midlands Today Special Correspondent

    Brexit stronghold Stoke-on-Trent proved to be a disappointment for the Labour party, who had launched their national campaign here.

    Again no party holds a majority, but Labour have the most with 16.

    The Conservatives have 15 seats and the City Independents hold 13.

    Dr Gemma Loomes

    You have the Conservatives and the perception that they failed to deliver the Brexit that the people of Stoke-on-Trent voted for and Labour's move towards potentially pursuing a second referendum, really negating the whole idea of Brexit in the first place that people voted for. So the City Independents seemed like a natural outlet for those voters in Stoke-on-Trent that don't want to vote for Labour or the Conservatives."

    Dr Gemma Loomes, Keele University senior lecturer politics

  18. 'Our position on Brexit has failed'

    BBC Midlands Today

    Reacting to the Labour Party's performance in the local elections, Birmingham Yardley MP Jess Phillips said her party's position on Brexit had failed.

  20. Tories expected to try to form coalition in Staffordshire Moorlands

    BBC Radio Stoke

    After losing overall control of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, the Conservatives are expected to try and form a coalition with independent councillors to lead it.

    With 25 seats, the Conservatives remain the biggest party and a further 17 independent votes would give the Tories a comfortable working majority.

    Labour gained six seats to leave the party with 13 councillors. One of them, 19-year-old Connor Brady took the Biddulph East seat - the youngest councillor to be elected for decades in the area.

    I'm just elated. It's an incredible achievement. I've always like wanted to help people. My life goal has always been to help as many people as possible and to do that you have to be in politics."

    Connor Brady, Councillor
