Good week for Labour. In recent months it usually struggled to improve May 2011 standings

The Coatbridge swing is from 2007, not "May this year", shurely??

Yes, better week for Labour with two gains and some decent swings since May 2011. Labour had not really improved on May 2011 performance until this week.
