The story so farpublished at 01:35 British Summer Time 5 May 2017
The picture across Wales remains unclear, with most of the declarations from yesterday's local government elections still to come in.
A Labour source has told BBC Wales of fears his party could lose control of Merthyr council.
Another Labour source has admitted the picture at Blaenau Gwent council is "very challenging."
But he played down a Tory advance in Wales, saying gains they predicted have "not transpired".
He referred to the picture in Wrexham as "nuanced", and said reports from Swansea and Newport were "positive" for Labour.
A Tory insider said it was looking good for the Conservatives in Monmouthshire with no losses.
Meanwhile a Plaid Cymru source said it looks as if his party will hold on to its 19 seats in Ceredigion, and may make gains in Ynys Mon.
Peter Black, a former Lib Dem AM said the party will be "lucky to hold on" to what they've got in Swansea.
