Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.
In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.
Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.
I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?

The brutal welfare cuts in Labour's Spring Statement will devastate families in Southwark, and we've seen nothing for London.

A French-led effort by European leaders to present a united front on Ukraine in the face of rising fear over US President Donald Trump's intentions fizzled yesterday as they failed to agree on sending troops to police a possible peace deal.
Europe’s leaders find no quick response to Trump’s bombshell on Ukraine
Common ground proves elusive, including on sending peacekeepers.
