Greens did very well, and one of the seats they won in Sheffield is the one I grew up in!

Liberal Democrats did OK.

The Conservatives appear to have benefited in a lot of places from the collapse of UKIP.

Labour made a few gains on the whole, but I do think that they are underperforming right now. Which is all the worse when you consider how awful the Conservatives are right now.
