BBC NEWS | Politics | At-a-glance: Local elections
With 70 key wards now declared, it continues to look as though it will be a relatively good night for the Tories, and a bad night for the Lib Dems, while Labour can look forward to at best doing much as it did in 2004 and 2007.

The Conservatives seem to have managed to take seats from both Labour and Lib Dems in sufficient numbers. Looking at Southampton it is quite something.
