Senior tories expecting Labour to take Trafford – would be a big win for them, taking prosperous NW Tory area – currently only Tory council in NW

FWIW: I'm refusing to buy Labour's current line that Wandsworth is totally out of reach. What's clear, though, is that they were expecting to be better position than this.

Every Labour source I've spoken to has said Barnet is very much up for grabs — but not the almost certain gain it was a few weeks back — while Wandsworth and Westminster are very, very unlikely. Please take with salt, of course.

However if it is a truly great night for the Tories it doesn’t change the arithmetic at Westminster or Mrs May wouldn’t be kicking the can further down the road.

Update

Lib Dem sources down in Richmond now telling me they have made "substantial gains" and are "on the verge" of taking control for first time since 2010. This is the Brexit effect in action.
