It is only newsworthy when Labour lose a national election.
But when Labour make substantial gains in local elections....?
The BBC buried the link to the bare statistics on their Elections 2010 main page.
Go compare - the lobbying group Urban Forum Untold Story Of The Local Elections.and the Local Government Chronical Labour encouraged by gains in local elections
Labour - 442 councillors gained. Control 15 more local councils
Tories - 119 councillors lost. Control 8 less councils.
Lib Dems - 129 councillors lost. Control 3 less councils
Most of the Labour gains were from councils that used to be No Overall Control.
So as our Country goes hang,
locally people feel they've been hung out to dry too often
and are turning back to labour.
Across England it is still the Tories who dominate the most councils.
But in the May elections next year
Labour is set to further regain control of local government.
Be part of the return to Labour values locally
