Local election blues

A small sampling of local election reports, locally:

Tories hold Newcastle-under-Lyme with seats boost. Newcastle-under-Lyme Labour group leader steps down.

Kidgrove turns Tory for first time in history.

The Conservatives hold council in Tamworth.

The Conservatives remain firmly in control of Cannock Chase.

Labour lose control of High Peak council.

Dudley election: Conservatives retain control.

Walsall Council Conservatives reinforce control.

Brilliant. It could only be better if Boris now also parachuted into the Potteries, with the Cabinet air-surfing in behind him. Oh, hang on a tick....

But you may have better luck.
