   "Following the pattern of recent local elections, in which the Greens have both won more seats and extended the geographical spread of their representation, by Friday night the party had won 156 seats, with a net gain of 81. It took seats from both Labour and the Conservatives."

     @matt Yeah, at least it's a hopeful sign.

     @tagomago I've not done the maths, but it's very close to 100%, yep! Impressive stuff. Greens often don't get the (ongoing) media coverage they deserve though. 🙂🙃 Hopefully these results may change that.
