Bad for Labour, though many of us (myself included) had it down as a Tory gain.

Looks good for Labour. Smiley

As of 8:20 EST
Labour 66
Conservative 4
Liberal Democrat 3
Scottish National 1
Others 0

It really, really isn't - the marginals are swinging at 7; If this keeps up, its [cutoff]

Tories just took Newbury looks like

Manchester Withington has set a new swing record, and I belive it beats even the 97 records. I haven't got the exact figure yet, but I've heard in excess of 20%

I'd just like to say that I called Solihull correctly and that therefore I obviously rule, especially over Al who said I was mad when I suggested it to him a few months ago.

Tories now have Ludlow, so thats one of the two required to reach 200.

Crawley will have a second recount later today; The counters have been sent home to sleep.

What party did you vote for Pete? I peg you somewhere between soft Labour and light Tory, but I could be wrong. I don't think you'd vote LibDem...but most certainly you'd vote BNP ! Tongue Cheesy

I would vote Labour in a competitive constituency, or Conservative if the candidate was sane (e.g. Francis Maude in Horsham). However, my seat (Oxford West and Abingdon) is a Lib Dem-Con contest with no real Labour challenge. I thus voted Green to help the poor guys save their deposit - unfortunately, they once again fell short with 4% of the vote.

I voted Labour in the County Council seats.

My friends at the Crawley count have told me that Labour have held on by approx 30 votes they think.

...Wirral West by over a 1000 votes, so I'd like to know why this took so long. Crawley by 37 votes. Pete's sources were pretty good.

Thats a third recount figure as well; From what I'm told the Labour majority went 79 then 31 and then finally 37.

That is Harlow - its a Labour seat, but with the swings we've been seeing I imagine they are in need of recounts to get a result.

It might well go Tory; I won't call it at this point, so read of that what you will.

The Staffordshire South election has been postponed due to the death of a candidate. By-election in a few weeks.

Anybody want to bet that he'll join the UK Conservative party and seek a UK seat at some point?

I've just found out that the Harlow count has been suspended until tomorrow - apparently it is really that close; Lead is presently with Labour but it may be no more than a few dozen.

More likely Torbay/Winchester-sized. A few dozen isn't that close.

From what I understand, there are ballot irregularities in play here also: I feel a Court challenge coming on.
