UK local elections: Tories face severe losses.

In UK local elections, the Tories face severe losses, potentially their worst in 40 years, with Labour, Lib Dems, and Greens gaining. The Conservatives may lose up to 500 council seats amid a 26.33% swing to Labour in Blackpool South. Party Chairman Richard Holden admits it's a "tough night" but maintains Rishi Sunak is the right leader. The results may indicate a possible end for the Tories in the upcoming general election, as Labour gains control of numerous councils.
