    As part of its on-line local section coverage, the BBC quotes Professor Sir John Curtice (Polling expert) as saying that "There are still signs of the legacy of Brexit in tonight's results.

    "If we compare them with what happened in the 2016 local elections, shortly before the EU referendum, the Conservative performance is clearly stronger in the most pro-Leave areas - up 8 percentage points - than it is in the most pro-Remain ones - down 9 points.

    "Labour's performance is also up compared with where it was in 2016 in pro-Remain areas, but weaker in the most pro-Leave ones."

    I guess that means discernible numbers of voters:
    a) see Brexit as the most important issue
    b) regard Brexit as going well
    c) still can't tell the difference between local and general elections.
