Worcester City Council remains under no overall control following Thursday's local elections. All 35 seats were up for grabs at authority following boundary changes.

Prior to Thursday's poll Worcester was a hung council with Labour the largest party holding 13 seats. Next up was the Greens on 11, the Conservatives on seven and the Liberal Democrats on four.

With only slight change, power still hangs in the balance. Labour won 17 seats with the Greens in second on 12. The Liberal Democrats won five seats with the Conservatives picking up just one councillor. Turnout across all wards in the city was 34.26 per cent.

The result means parties will have to govern on a cross party basis. The Green Party hailed their best result ever in Worcester.

Elsewhere in the West Midlands Labour saw gains in Sandwell, Cannock and Tamworth. Conservatives retained control in Walsall and Solihull.

Nationally the Conservatives suffered heavy losses losing council seats, mayoral elections - other than Teeside - and a parliamentary by-election in Blackpool.

It will be fun watching Labour getting crushed for a change
The big beasts have gone. The only member of the Cabinet who enjoys a tussle on the BBC’s Today programme and escapes with just flesh wounds and a spring in his step is Michael Gove. The rest have gone or are going and that makes it tough for those of us on the touchline. We are like the parents of pupils at a little school that managed to raise a rugby team and are watching the poor sods being thrashed left, right and centre. We wince as some big brute, who looks far too tall for his age, cuts

The case against Israel has just collapsed
By rights, this should be the moment that the humanitarian case against Israel’s campaign in Gaza goes into terminal collapse. From now on, there can be no equivocation. Those who persist in opposing the war based on the number of civilian casualties are either ignorant or arguing in bad faith. Or both.
