Judging how the GE went here, as both Dudley seats (and Halesowen) are solid Blue now, I think we could be masscared here.

No, it won't be a massacre, the borough is too divided for that, but I would expect somewhere between 3 and 7 gains |

No, it won't be a massacre, the borough is too divided for that, but I would expect somewhere between 3 and 7 gains I keep forgetting Stourbridge is part of Dudley MBC! I admire your optimism there, but the way GE went I am expecting any outcome even worst case scenarios. |

Summarising the results in that chart from last year (from Labour's POV):
- Safe Labour (45% +), 6 wards
- Marginal (33 - 45%), 5 wards
- Safe Tory (< 33%), 13 wards

Have they gained any of the seats up this year since then? Would seem to indicate that the council is almost certain to go blue... |

No Split wards Amblecote, Lab 2016 so defending this year, Con 2018& 19 Brockmoor and Pensnett Lab 2016 & 18 and defending, Con 2019 Halesowen North, Lab 2016 & 19 and defending, Con 2018 Kingswinford North Lab 2016 and defending, Con 2018& 19 The Labour councillor up in Kingswinford North is a former Lib Dem Dave Tyler and has a big personal vote so that’s not as straightforward as it looks on paper Theres also Norton ward when Conservative to Labour defector Mike Atwood is up this year, so that’s 1 almost certain Conservative gain Conservative gain looks very likely. |
