You may have read this week that former prime minister Boris Johnson was approached by the producers of the popular ITV show 'I'm A Celebrity.' to appear in the upcoming season. This latest loss comes after the Tories lost over 1,000 seats at the local elections in May, and they continue to struggle in the national polls ahead of a general election, due to take place in the next 18 months. The Tories had controlled the council since 2017, but as a result of last night's vote, the composition is now 25 Tory councillors and 25 opposition councillors.įortunately for the Conservative Party, the council chairman - and therefore the casting vote - is a Conservative.

Continuing a disastrous electoral streak at local level this year, the Conservative Party lost control of East Sussex County Council last night after losing a by-election to the Liberal Democrats.
