...loses control of St Helens???
*goggles*
Start packing up now, the world's obviously about to end.
Edited to explain: St Helens (my former home town) is an old industrial and mining town, and it must be one of the most solid Labour votes in the country. Labour have controlled the council there for decades.
I'm also interested because both my paternal grandparents were very active councillors there during the 1920s and 1930s; they were both aldermen, and my grandmother was Mayor in 1950. (The second woman to become mayor of the town - and I just found a picture of her here (scroll down). Go Granny Mac!)
