Boris Johnson admits the local election results in some parts of England have been "tough" for the Tory party
The party has lost more than 340 council seats in England and has seen big losses in Scotland too
The Liberal Democrats have gained more than 190 council seats in England so far and the Greens are also doing well
The BBC calculates that based on these results, if the whole country had been voting - Labour would have 35% of the vote, Conservative 30%, Lib Dems 19% and others 16%
