Super Thursday: State of Play at 0100 UK

Well, it is still early stages and we don't yet have any meaningful results in yet, and none at all from the Scottish Councils and Welsh Assembly. However, Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell has held onto his seat with a reduced majority, and a swing to SNP of just under 7%.

In England, we have only had 2 councils change hands, both from No Overall Control. One has gone to the Liberal Democrats, and one has gone to the Conservatives. However, Labour have gained more councillors overall, than the Lib Dems. Bit of a mixed picture so far. We'll have to see if it stays that way.
