Rowena Mason, political correspondent: There is no spinning out of this one for Labour. It is a bad result to fall into third place given the party’s dominance in the country before the ascent of the SNP. There will now be pressure on Kezia Dugdale. There were also early indications the extraordinary surge of the SNP may have peaked: it is on course for a decisive victory without having increased its majority, while the Conservatives and Lib Dems showed signs of revival.Rowena Mason, political correspondent: There is no spinning out of this one for Labour.

RM: Welsh Labour is already blaming Westminster politicians for the loss of seats that mean they will have to run a minority administration. The party’s vote share is down but not at the hands of the Conservatives. Dissatisfaction with the major parties appears to have turned voters fed up with politics-as-usual to Ukip and Plaid Cymru, whose leader Leanne Woods beat Welsh minister Leighton Andrews.
