Local Elections: Losses for Tories and Labour

Sky’s Ed Conway looks at why the UK’s two main political parties are losing support, and what the latest local election results might mean for a future general election.

Meanwhile, Labour have failed to capitalise on Tory losses – losing 84 seats themselves so far, as results continue to be announced.
