The local and London elections have been bad for the left and for progressive voters everywhere. The backlash against the Brown government, which many now feel has betrayed them on the economic and social fundamentals, has pushed Labour's share of the vote below the Liberal Democrats nationally.
In London, Johnson is now mayor, although the final margin after second preferences was lower than many predicted. Much worse, the BNP got a first seat on the Assembly. The Liberal Democrats also had a bad day in London, with their vote down substantially and it was a pretty mixed picture for them elsewhere. |

Elsewhere there were other good results with 25% of the vote in Springfield and third place and 15% of the vote in Manchester Cheetham Hill and also third place. There was also a third place in Aston where Respect took 20% of the vote.
A full results service and analysis will come later when we get the London results. Congratulations though to everyone who stood for Respect and to everyone who campaigned so hard. |

George Galloway this evening savagely attacked Boris Johnson and his pretensions to become mayor of London. In an article to appear in tomorrow's Daily Record he writes: "Bonkers Johnson can scarcely be imagined representing one of the world's great capitals. He backed Bush and Blair's war on Iraq and boasts he stole Tariq Aziz's cigar case when roaming around his empty house on a post-war dance on Iraqi war graves. He described black children as 'picaninnies', marvelling at their 'water-melon smiles'. And he's managed to insult the people of Liverpool, Swindon and Bristol."

The Government's new immigration points based system has started to be implemented this week, less than a month after the Border and Immigration Agency announced details of the "Australian-style" Points scheme on the 6th February.
Brown’s government has once again acted with knee-jerk legislation to counter the hysteria about immigration and asylum seekers, hysteria whipped up by the constant bombardment of negative reports in the media. |
