Andy Sawford made a whole bunch of predictions about the local elections on Wednesday night. Below in red you can see all the results so far and have a check on how well he’s doing. We’re still bringing in results from around the country on @LGIU
10.Newcastle is the big fight of the night, with Labour hoping to gain enough seats to win control from the Lib Dems for the first time in many years. The Lib Dems are defending 16 seats, Labour are defending 9. Labour would need to make a net gain of 6 seats to win. This is a nail biter for Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband. Labour got the 6 they needed and are now in control
