The Lib Dems have won their first seat of this election in Dorset.
BCP council leader Vikki Slade took the Mid Dorset and North Poole seat with 21,442, beating the migration minister Michael Tomlinson into second place with a majority of 1,352.
She overturned a Conservative majority of more than 16,000 and remarkably there was no Reform candidate standing that would split the Conservative vote.
It's Vikki Slade's fourth attempt at winning the seat - a hugely significant result for her personally and it raises the question of what she will do with her council responsibilities.
