  1. In Wolverhampton North East Constituency, the following happened in Friday’s local elections:

    Bushbury South & Low Hill – Labour Hold

    Bushbury North – Labour gain from Conservative

    Fallings Park – Labour gain from Conservative

    Heath Town – Labour gain from Conservative

    Oxley – Labour gain from Conservative

    Wednesfield North – Labour gain from Conservative

    Wednesfield South – Labour gain from Conservative

  2. Obviously it was appalling for Labour to allow themselves to get down to one ward in the first place. Totality however can’t be improved upon. :)

  3. Well, the Labour Party may not be finished demolishing the WNE Tories yet. In 2014, the Tories are defending:

    Bushbury North – Tory Leader, current leader of the opposition and former Council Leader (2008 – 2010) Neville Patten

    Wednesfield South – 1 seat left to be taken

    Wednesfield North – 1 seat left to be taken

    It is perfectly possible that if the Liberals and backbench Tories don’t allow boundary changes through, that when Emma Reynolds comes to defend WNE in 2015, she will have 21 Labour Councillors and their support teams to be campaigning for her!
