This is still a developing story, but it looks like Tony Blair's Labour party is doing worse than expected in English local political races as results come in tonight.
There were no elections today in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Worse than expected for Labour is an understatement, since they weren't expected to do very well anyway.
Bribery and sex scandals seem to be the reason Labour got pummelled. Look for American Leftists Friday morning to blame Labour's defeat on Bush's Iraq policy, however.
The Conservative Party did well. The British National Party, a far-right, anti-immigrant party, showed some strength in London's East End, and picked up some seats elsewhere in England.
