The end is nigh, and I think it could be slow and painful. | ||

Am I right in believing that Labour don't control a single county council in England? | ||

Don't know about the councils that weren't contested on Thursday, but they lost all the ones they were fighting . Looks like the meltdown is in full swing. Ed Balls is apparently unhappy he never got into No 11, so he is refusing to talk to Mandy. There are also another two women ministers threatening to resign. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6446324.ece |

Looks like Unison are about to withdraw some its funding from the Labour Party. About time too!
