Summary

Today, we look at the results that have come in throughout Friday in the local elections.

Ben Houchen has won in the Tees Valley mayoral race, in some positive news for Rishi Sunak. Will this be enough to stop any challenges to his leadership from within his party? Overall, it continues to look a bad day for the Conservatives though. Labour have won 3 other regional mayor contests, as well as key councils like Redditch and Thurrock.

Adam is joined by Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason and Faisal Islam.
