The Conservatives suffered disastrous losses across Wales, with the party's Welsh leadership blaming the crisis in No 10 for their woes while there were encouraging gains for Labour, Plaid Cymru, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens.

One of the most striking results on Friday came in Denbighshire in the north-east where the Tories dropped from first to fourth place. They lost control of their only council, Monmouthshire, in the south-east.
