Zahid Shah nearly topples Labour Leader
The Leader of the Labour Group on Wolverhampton Council was a worried man at the count as he saw his once massive majority melt away under the heat on Zahid's Shah's campaign in St. Peter's Ward. It was only at the last box that he realised he had beaten Zahid by just 153 votes. This is Zahid's first attempt at contesting an election and as St. Peter's has been a traditionally safe Labour seat this is a sensational result. Zahid is determined to carry on the campaign and take the seat at the next election in 2010.

Nick Clegg hails strong set of results in local elections
Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg has praised the party's strong performance in the local elections. Gordon Brown said it had been a "bad and disappointing" election for Labour, as the party suffered its worst council results in at least 40 years. BBC research suggests Labour won a national equivalent vote share of 24% of votes cast in England and Wales, behind the Tories on 44% and Lib Dems on 25%. So far Labour has lost 310 councillors and a net nine councils, including Reading and Wolverhampton. Lib Dems have so far gained a net 30 councillors on top of an already impressive 2004 performance, and have taken four new councils - Sheffield, Hull, St Albans and Burnley.
