All in all, a pretty rough night for Labour, though not as bad as I expected, they lost a net of 18 councils, whilst the Tories picked up 12 and the LibDems 1, but losing 2.
In my area, luckily we avoided a LibDem council, they got 33 seats, Labour 23, and we even got a Green Councillor! Despite the fact the Tories got the most votes, over 30%, they only got 12 seats. I'm surprised the LibDems did so well, locally they've made a total balls-up of things.
BNP became the second party in Barking and Dagenham, with 44 seats nationwide.
The Greens had 89 seats nationwide last night.
