    The leader of Kensington and Chelsea Labour group has conceded the party will not take control of the council but claimed the Conservatives had been "humbled".

    The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) was thought to be a wildcard due to anger over the Grenfell fire tragedy last June, which killed 71.

    There were 50 seats up for grabs across 18 wards in the borough, which has been held by the Tories since its creation in 1964.

    Labour group leader Robert Atkinson said: "The Tories will still be in control but by a much smaller margin than last time. They've been humbled, finally."

    In a message to the Grenfell community, he said: "Please put your trust in the enlarged and invigorated Labour group.

    "We have your interests at heart and we will continue to hold this lot to account."

    He expected Labour councillors to be elected in the Chelsea Riverside ward in the south of the borough, where the party has no councillors.

    But he later conceded that the seats had "slipped away" and the Tories retained all three.

    The ward which contains the charred remains of Grenfell tower - Notting Dale - remained Labour as expected, with applause as Mr Atkinson and Judith Blakeman kept their seats.

    In Brompton and Hans Town, the ward of former Tory leader Nicholas Paget-Brown, who stood down in the aftermath of the fire, three Conservative councillors won seats.

    The Conservative party has held onto Wandsworth, one of Labour’s key targets.

    Wandsworth has been a Tory local government flagship since the heyday of Margaret Thatcher.

    But the borough, which covers Labour safe seat Tooting, has become increasingly split in recent years.

    It’s been a mixed picture with vote swings in both directions, but as the final votes are tallied up the Conservatives have 32 of the 60 seats.
