Matt Buck's Hack Cartoons

Reaction to the scale of the Labour election disaster here from Septicisle, Schrodinger's Pig has a fine open letter to the government outlining more than a few home truths. Jonathan Calder offers a reasoned assessment of Nick Clegg's debut in political society, and then there is also excellent and sustained live coverage from Iain Dale, who must have drunk a lot of caffeine to keep reporting the way he has. Mind you, he has something to celebrate doesn't he? And it must have felt like a long wait.

>>>>>>>>
Cross-reference this list of the 40 councils designated ‘Respect Zones‘ today with this list of 312 councils facing local elections in May 2007.
All but one ‘Respect Zone’ (Hastings Borough Council) are having local elections this year.
Just saying, is all.
