Population. Well, it certainly contributed. This is a borough where labor has been struggling politically over a number of years, losing Council Seats and even leaders. But it does appear that anger over the conflict in gaza and labours initial reluctance to call for a ceasefire has done real damage and cost control of this council. Its also had an impact elsewhere in Labour Strongholds across greater manchester, places like tameside and bolton, rochdale. Even in the city centre, one or two Council Seats have gone to independents or parties standing on a Pro Gaza Platform and over in lancashire in blackburn with darwen, eight Council Seats have been taken today by independents standing in support of gaza but therefore have been lost by labour and four have been lost by the conservatives. Theres just a scattering of seats being affected in this way at the moment, but it does appear clear now that the main parties can be affected by their response of the ongoing conflict at the ballot box locally. And to talk about this and the local elections wider lets speak to mo hussein a former Special Adviser at the home office he also worked at number ten when David Cameron was Prime Minister. Thanks forjoining us on The World Today. Lets talk a little bit about what happened in oldham. What does that tell us, do you think, about voters in those areas . Do you think it has got to do with the stance on israel gaza the labour party have pushed before february of this year . Yeah, i think it is connected. It has been a good night for the labour party but it has not been smooth sailing and there are certain parts of the country, perhaps with a higher proportion of muslim votes and people who feel very strongly about the war in gaza and the events in israel, and they are using this interaction with politicians and this ability to have your voice heard at the local level, i think to make that clear. That is in some ways to be expected, and local elections you do get more votes share for independence and smaller parties, protest votes. But if you look at the Wider National picture and how people vote at the general election, i still think the predominant issues facing people up and down the country in terms of the economy, cost of living, that will be in front of mind and you tend to vote for the more Mainstream Parties who can actually do something about the various aspects of your life so i dont think it will be a direct translation. In i dont think it will be a direct translation. I dont think it will be a direct translation. ,. , translation. In the general election votin in translation.

Yes its been a pretty abysmal night for the conservatives. Some of it was priced in and youve heard that from ministers and spokespeople from the party, but i think it goes to the worst and of even any expectation management. There were some positives. In terms of the party in number ten, positives. In terms of the party in numberten, it positives. In terms of the party in number ten, it will certainly point to the retention of tees valley and looking at what happens in the West Midlands tomorrow, and i think that will be of some comfort to mp5. Mps will be of some comfort to mp5. Mps will be of some comfort to mp5. Mps will be looking across the country to their patches to see some of their colleagues and counsellors that have been there for years losing their seats. These are parts of the country some of which labour doesnt have any history or presence, so once these systemic mayoralty� s may still remain conservative. For example been hauch and in tees valley, conducted his campaign, he was individualistic. He was very much based on his own record. There was some distance from the Prime Minister.

More than 20 metres long, like an historic roll of wallpaper. Goes for miles yes, its 30 pages. This is the official state record of the coronation given to monarchs for hundreds of years. Goodness me, im not. Going to attempt to read it without my specs. At least its in english, isnt it . Marvellous illumination work. Whos done all the calligraphy . All 11,500 words were carefully inscribed by stephanie gill. In an Epic Achievement of concentration, she spent 56 consecutive days writing the roll. The only error was a single dot missed off an i. It records, does it. It records everything. Well, not quite everything. It doesnt name celebrity guests, like ant and dec or katy perry. And, hello, theres no lionel ritchie. So, yes, the earliest
