On Today on the Home Service this morning: “Tory gains in England [ blah blah ...] while the LibDems have lost 155 seats and Labour six councils” - not verbatim, of course, and those are the figures current as I type, but you’ll find the original somewhere in the last hour of the programme on listen again until you don’t.

Might they have considered saying that “the LibDems have gained one council and Labour lost 225 seats”? What do you think? >;)
