If the 2023 results were repeated then Labour would gain 4 from the Conservatives and 1 from the Liberal Democrats. 2 of those Conservative defences look very difficult, and they also had 2 fairly narrow holds as well which could come into play again.

Thank you for starting these Tony Otim - but I think that Newcastle-upon-Tyne is still missing?

Lib Dems would also presumably gain one from Tories?

What are the four? I make it that repeating last year would give:
Lab gain from Con: Barnes, St Anne's Lab gain from LD: Hendon Lab gain from Reform UK: Washington South LD gain from Con: Fulwell LD hold/regain from Ind (elected as LD): Pallion

Ah yes, I should have known better than to think Reform would ever have got a councillor of their own elected! Though that still makes three Lab gains from Con?

Do Sunderland count their council elections with a view to being first to declare as they do for general elections?
Is it in fact even possible to do a multi-seat ward count super-quickly? My own experience of observing the 'grass skirt' method (ballots put on big adhesive sheets to form a sort of giant grid) would suggest limited scope for breaking speed records.

They certainly tend to be the first, or one of the first, to start declaring wards.

My understanding is that they treat the council elections as dress rehearsals for the general elections. Obviously when they have their all-out year they won't be able to count anywhere near as quickly, but they might well try anyway.

May well be the only full slate for Reform UK It looks like a proper effort given one of their candidates gives an address in Durham (I suppose Sunderland is in Durham).

UKIP fielded full/virtual full slate over the years. Wonder if the candidates coincide in any way?

Keith Samme (Castle) stood for UKIP in that ward in 2015 Paul Donaghy (Washington South) won a seat for the Conservatives in 2021, if it's the same person Sheila Samme (St Chad's) stood for UKIP in Fulwell in 2015
I haven't done a systematic search for candidates standing in different wards in past elections, so there may be more

The way they talk about Washington, you'd think it was Narnia! I get the whole "local" obsession happens everywhere but we do seem to have a particularly bizarre and extreme breed of parochialism in the North East. It may be sacrilege to say this but it's the sort of thing that really makes me miss living down south...

Sandwell is / was similar. "You can't run someone from Oldbury in Wednesbury", that sort of thing. Sandwell was based on six previous UDCs I think, and it retained that sense of being parochial
