A result that will not leave the Tories smiling tonight.
The Conservatives had control of West Somerset council going into the election, but tonight they have lost control to an Independent group of councillors. The Tories lost 4 seats there, whilst the Independents gained 6.
And another result, this time from Wales, that will leave the political machines in a rather less than euphoric state, is that an Independent has won Bleanau Gwent. The seat was previously held by Labour.
Perhaps my earlier thought about being a bad night for Independent politicians was premature.
