Who will lead North East Lincolnshire Council following night of triumph for Reform UK?

 

FOUR high-profile Conservatives lost their places on North East Lincolnshire Council - and in the cabinet - in a night of election triumph for Reform UK.

Licking their wounds this morning are: Margaret Cracknell, Stephen Harness, Ron Shepherd and Stewart Swinburn.

As a result of yesterday's poll, Reform UK is now the largest party with 14 seats.

But there is no overall control, and there are certain to be days of  political manoeuvring to see which group will lead the authority - or whether leadership will be shared. 

The composition is now:

Conservative – 10

Labour – 11

Liberal Democrat – 3

Independents – 4

Reform UK – 14
