Labour have taken control of Leeds.  More bad results for the Lib Dems in the urban North: they only won two wards (one of which was Otley & Yeadon, which is not part of Leeds by any sensible definition) out of the eight they were defending.

Quote from: Kurt Cobain & Jay Jay Okocha on May 06, 2011, 06:13:28 am
Quote from: beeb
Labour has taken control of Lincoln City Council by winning six wards in the local election. The council had previously been run by the Conservatives, who lost a ward and dropped to 15 seats. Labour has also taken Leeds from no overall control, winning seven seats to gain a majority of 55. The Lib Dems lost five seats and the Conservatives one in Leeds.

Wait, so where did all the other Labour gains in Lincoln come from? LDs and/or some indy group annihilated?


Lincoln is basically a two-party state.  Poor phrasing from the beeb: Labour won six wards = five holds + one gain (presumably Glebe ward).

There cannot have been a by-election here, as I didn't see an Andrew Teale writeup on it. Or else that by-election's validity should be challenged on the grounds that it was held without Andrew's written approval.

BBC report Labour have gained Chesterfield from the Lib Dems.  That required a swing of over 16%.

Labour have made decent gains in the Forest of Dean; up from eight seats to seventeen. Smiley

Labour take Redcar & Cleveland. It may be interesting to see the ward results.

Contrasting fortunes in Lindsey... the Tories have gained North Lincolnshire from Labour (who gained it from the Tories in 2007. Weird, huh?) but Labour have made significant gains in NE Lincolnshire, vaulting from third to first.

The BBC reports that Labour are back in control of Newcastle.

Edit: ten gains - 43-32.

Losing to Labour in the North and to the Tories in the south as former Labour tactical voters unwind against them. Seems that the Tories are losing big to Labour, but making up for it with big LibDem gains.

The Red Flag flies over Bideford. Or: Labour's most random gain so far. That I've seen anyway.

LOL!

Bury had a draw in Ramsbottom ward. Which was decided by a drawing of lots (after two recounts). Which Labour won. Which gave them a majority on the council - 26 Labour, 20 Conservative, 5 LDs. (There were 17 seats up this year; not sure how they split but Labour made 6 gains - 3 from the Tories incl. Ramsbottom, 3 from the LDs.)

Sheffield winning party:


Lib Dem to Labour swing since 2010:

(Shades are 0 to 4%, 4% to 8%, etc., up to 16% to 20%, using the British definition of "swing")

Base map is by Jonathan Harston http://mdfs.net/Docs/Sheffield/

Low swings are in the northern parishes, where the Lib Dems did badly in 2010, and in the Lib Dem parts of Heeley constituency where they did surprisingly well (relatively) this year.

So:
Liberal Democrats 39% (-14%)
Labour 29% (+13%)
Conservatives 20% (-4%)
Greens 12% (+11%)

13.5% swing to Labour from the Liberal Democrats since the general election in May 2010.

My local elections ward (returning 2 councillors) had 2 Tories (both incumbent), a Green and an Indie (ex LD) standing. I voted for the Green and LD. I think there's a fighting chance the Greenie could get in. The LD is a bit of a bitter hack about the coalition, so he probably won't make it.
In fact, it turns out that being a bitter LD helps ones chances. He won, as did one of the Tories.

Even more in fact, it looks as though several ex-LD indies have won seats on my council.
