Labour barely hung on in Chorley South West. Hardly a great victory for GB.

Why the hell did they put Jowell spinning? she's gonna be rubbished by Osborne and Kennedy. I think the results for us are going to be better than expected, she's not going to be good at highlighting that.

As long as the Tories do not lose a seat they have done well, back in 204 when these seats were last contested they had a good night. Also hard for many councils to change control when only 1/3rd of seats up for re-election.
If Labour do as badly as 2004 then there is trouble.

Luke, stop looking at your computer while Emily is talking to you!

Wait, did Emily just say that she had twitter?
Boris has one, its ridiculous, his worst update is "The Sun has backed my message of change for London today. Check it out." The Sun? Seriously? They would back and probably sponsor your plans to put topless models on London buses, Boris.

Luke whats your opinion on the breakdown of London voters today?
Have people been voting issues, values, party-based or personality?
Do you think the introduction of Johnson into the race changed the voters reasons for how they voted?

Breakdown of London voters?
What's caused that the thought of Baffoon Boris representing them on the world stage?
