Labour candidate Jeanette Forster has been elected for the Sneckyeat Ward on Copeland council, retaining a place.

Copeland's wards have been significantly changed by a boundary review, external since the last election, making it difficult until all results are in to say whether parties have lost or gained seats.

Conservative councillor Yvonne Clarkson, who has represented Beckermet on Copeland Borough for 34 years, has lost her seat to the Independent candidate, Sam Meteer.

Ms Clarkson attracted 264 votes, to Councillor Meteer's 339.

It's not over - it's far, far from over.

Many hundreds of seats are yet to declare. Many individual political stories yet to be told. So be very aware - the final shape of wins and losses for the government and the main opposition is unclear.

But at this stage of the morning, there is one message to both of the main parties at Westminster from this enormous set of elections - it's not us, it's both of you.

Local elections are about different issues in our villages, towns and cities. But at count after count, Tory and Labour candidates have been paying the price for Westminster's failure so far to settle the Brexit question. Council leaders from both parties saying openly that voters can't trust them any more because of how they have dealt with the issue - whether that is a sentiment among Leave voters in Sunderland who don't trust that we'll ever leave, or Remain voters in Bath who are furious that we likely will.

Or more simply maybe, now we are nearly three years on from the referendum itself, this is a verdict on the competence of Westminster's biggest parties, on the mess of handling Brexit.

The beneficiaries? A Lib Dem recovery of sorts, a marked pick-up for the Greens, and independent councillors gobbling up seats in different pockets of the country. By traditional measures at this early stage, Labour is far from making the strides of a party marching towards Number 10. The Tories have so far escaped the worst. But their divisions over Brexit have cost them both - and neither of them have an obvious way out.

But as I say, many more results are yet to come in, and you can keep up with them here throughout the day.

Labour had a lot to lose in the North East & Cumbria. It is the party that dominates its town halls - but it took some heavy hits overnight.

Sunderland’s voters delivered the early blows - 12 councillors gone.

Then Hartlepool was lost; losses in Allerdale hit double figures and, to add insult to injury, there was a by-election defeat in a usually reliable part of County Durham.

And the party’s problems in northern Mayoral races continue as their candidates trailed in a distant second to Independents in Middlesbrough and Copeland.

Local leaders were quick to point to Brexit confusion. But that just highlights the party’s dilemma. While their leader in Sunderland claims flirting with a new referendum cost him councillors, Newcastle’s Labour leader says a failure to fully back one backfired.

And it just seems voters wanted anyone but Labour in some places. How else to explain gains for UKIP, Greens, Lib Dems, Independents and Conservatives?

As the establishment in the region, perhaps some sort of kicking for Labour was inevitable. But do not discount local factors.

It may be convenient - and partly justified - for council leaders to blame events in Westminster, but anyone who has talked to voters in the region will know that some Labour regimes here are far from loved.

And last night’s losses are likely to continue in other parts of the patch as more results come in.
