Reform squeak their first ever council win in Scotland as the Labour and Conservative votes collapse, and an Independent positions for a 2027 seat.

A messy by-election with lots to watch: tight Labour vs SNP contest, expect a strong Reform share, will Conservatives slip below Greens/Lib Dems, is an Independent set for a 2027 win?

Labour continue to struggle to pick up transfers from a surging Reform UK, allowing the SNP to narrowly squeak a win in a ward Labour easily won an earlier by-election in.

A return to a ward Labour already won a by-election in looks a much tougher win for them in the current climate, especially given Reform’s continued presence.

Labour manage another expected win, and Reform UK show strong support in a ward well suited to them.

Labour are the likely winners in an area that’s generally been strong for them, but the most interesting result may come from Reform UK.

Labour pull off an expected win following the death of a very popular local Independent, but the rest of the field goes wild, with a huge result for Reform UK and surprising growth for some Independence hardliners.

The sad passing of a very popular local Independent primes sets the stage for a likely Labour win, as well as what is only the second time Reform UK have contested a local election in Scotland.

Labour overturn a slim SNP advantage to retain a seat in this closely fought ward, as the Conservative vote continues to collapse.

Another sad, early passing of a sitting Labour councillor sets up a tight contest with the SNP attempting to return a previous by-election winner to the council.
