Polls have closed.


Just crushing some numbers for my own council (Wirral), it should be a Labour gain tonight.

Early rumours suggest No to mayor in Birmingham; hopefully others will follow.

The thought of Liam Byrne or Salma Yaqoob or whoever as my mayor would encourage me to vote no as well.

All the usual stuff, we know the routine, i'm sure. Check council websites for wards, etc, etc.

BBC's programme starts at 23:35 after Question Time, I think Sky's already got their Decision 2012 programme on.

Do we get London Assembly results tonight by the way or is that tomorrow as well?

Slightly OT: Discussing Francois Hollande on Question Time. All of them except the Welsh guy (assuming he's Plaid) and Harriet Harman seem to despise him. Idiots. Even Ming Campbell's slamming him. IDS and some guy from Dragon's Den calling him a big spending socialist.

Why not just call him a red under the bed and get it over with?

Linacre ward is in Bootle, so the smiley ain't necessary.


I know.

LOL

Actually found myself glad they've kept it simple earlier just remembering that crap.

Also Cheesy at the Sunderland result.

The graphics/trend shown a few moments ago on regional gains/losses by parties was great. Shown what many were arguing last year - gains from the Liberals (in the South) hidden Tory losses.

There were some bizarre results last year down south. WTF went on in Eastleigh? Massive Liberal gains.

Sayeedi Warsi just implied that the BNP and UKIP are in cahoots together because there's a correlation between UKIP fielding more candidates and BNP fielding less.

She really is crazy.

Sadeeq and Sayeeda were arguing for about 2 hours on BBC, now they've hopped over to Sky together. Jesus.

Ed Miliband got egged a few hours ago by the way. Made a joke about his "cracking" results on Twitter. Probably still the best day he's had of his leadership, so far.
