As it stands Labour looks set to lose control of Sheffield City Council as they bleed votes to the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats, with Bob Johnson being the latest casualty.

Bob Johnson, the Labour council leader in Sheffield, lost his Hillsborough seat to the Green Party’s Christine Gilligan Kubo.

Labour have lost council seats in Nether Edge and Sharrow, Hillsborough and West Ecclesfield to the other two parties with the Conservatives also seeing a massive increase in their vote share.
