A Little Local Difficulty

I see that Labour lost control of the London Borough of Merton in yesterday's election. The Conservatives have 30 seats, Labour has 27 and there are three independent councillors so no one has overall control of the Council.

A poor reward indeed for an administration that succeeded in making SW19 so cool that Boradway is buzzing with the news that David Hasselhoff himself is coming to the New Wimbledon Theatre to appear in Panto this Christmas.

(In my Colliers Wood ward though, Labour swept the board and the Greens beat the Tories to a poor third.)
