The Greens, but it's a really symbolic victory.
Nigel Farage has hailed a historic shift in British politics as his Reform UK party wins big in the local elections.
And despite huge losses for Labour, the Prime Minister insists he's not going anywhere.
From The Guardian's Today In Focus, this is The Latest with me, Lucy Hough.
Well, I'm joined by Alexandra Topping, our political correspondent.
Thanks for being with us, Lexi.
I hope you got some sleep last night.
I managed about a 2am-er and then I forced myself to go to sleep.
Yeah, I got some.
Some, yeah.
Some is enough.
But what we've woken up to, and we're speaking at about lunchtime at one o'clock on Fridays, so lots still to emerge.
We're about a third of the way through.
But this broad picture of major losses for Labour, but perhaps not catastrophic, and a huge surge for reform.
So,
Let's look at the overall picture as it stands.
A historic victory.
Yes.
Yeah.
This total shift away from the Tory Labour era of two party politics.
