What will the front page be for 2026?

Well, that was a bit of an early shock at Hillingdon. Ian Edwards, the face of the council for several years, has officially announced he is not going to be standing again as leader, even if his Tory group retains control of the council. 

We don't yet know, though, whether even if he had carried on, he would still be council leader by the end of the day - or whether another party would be in control.

So, will we see a completely different picture from four years ago when the Conservatives won the council by seven seats - see our front page from 2022? 

Keep your eyes glued to this site for more drama. First result likely to be in by midday.
