A Conservative MP broke down in tears following heavy losses for the party in Essex.

The Tories lost a comfortable majority in Chelmsford and also relinquished control of two other councils in the county.

MP Vicky Ford appeared visibly frustrated following the count in Chelmsford.

She told the BBC: “I think it is really disappointing when you look at some of the individuals who have lost their seats tonight,” she said.

“People who have worked their socks off for Chelmsford.

“Some of those councillors who have really worked so hard and helped to make Chelmsford so fantastic.

“They have lost their seats as a result of what is happening nationally reflecting back in people not wanting to turn out and vote locally.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
