A bit of history. Different circumstances, different seats but mildly instructive. How many seats the incumbent Leader of the Opposition won in the locals when the govt they opposed was 9 years in. Kinnock in 1988: +76 Cameron in 2006: +316 Corbyn in 2019: -110 (and counting)
Unelectable.

Is that losses minus gains? And is it based on councils at dissolution or at last election?

Ah, that's different. I prefer to see a direct comparison with how it actually was when the election was called, not 4 years ago.

Currently 848 losses, Juan

Hard to find many MP's as out of touch as both front benches.
McDonnell key offender.

A lot of that is due to defections and some due to by-elections.
It's therefore more comparable to measure vs previous full set, no?

Govey baby about to lose his council to the Lib Dems, after Moggy led the charge away from the Tories in his area.

Looking at the councils in the West Country where the Lib Dems have gained control some of the conservative losses have been brutal.

I’ve left the Labour Party after nearly 45 years of service at Branch, Constituency and NEC levels,partly because of it’s continued duplicity on Brexit, partly because of it’s antisemitism, but also because its leadership is complete shit.
