UPDATE: From Luke's blog "Last night's results - some very pleasing ones for Labour in London (suggesting the good borough results in May were not just down to the General Election high turnout) and Wales:
Goresbrook Ward, LB Barking & Dagenham. Lab hold. Lab 881 (46.6%, +3), BNP 642 (34.0%, +6.8), LD 136 (7.2%, -2.1), Con 108 (5.7%, -7.4), Ind 63 (3.3%, -3.5), UKIP 50 (2.6%, +2.6), Ind 11 (0.6%, +0.6). Swing of 1.7% from Lab to BNP since May this year. This ward returned 2 BNP councillors in 2006."
NB: 3% increase in Louise's % vote!!!

and with another swing to Labour since May
well done
especially to Louise and Searchlight
does that mean we lose louise off the NEC?
john why don't you have a go at the eco-nazi in your own borough in newham?
it is well known that the fascists have infiltrated the so-called anti law and order, animal rights, anti-city airport and anti-nuclear trains wombats.
but you don't say anything about these fascist green left bigots who want us to go on push bikes while they go off on long haul jet holidays?
