Local elections: Zombie result is worst possible outcome for Labour

All the talk of this week's elections being make or break time for Jeremy Corbyn, turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax. But of all the possible outcomes for the Labour party our first piece today suggests this is the worst. There is nothing from the results to suggest Corbyn has what it takes to win a general election but he has done just enough to stay put as leader.

So, in England not a lot has changed. In Scotland, Labour has slipped into third place behind the Tories. And the big story in Wales is that Ukip has won its first ever seats in the Welsh Assembly, with former Tory MPs Mark Reckless and Neil Hamilton among those elected. Our next piece suggests that the fact Ukip has chosen two such out-of-date politicians to stand in these elections shows that it is a party stuck in the past.

And check back in with us later when we'll have a more in-depth look at the Scottish results, and news from the London mayoral election.
