Labour suffers election 'kicking'

Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott admits voters have given Labour a "kicking" in protest at the Iraq war.
With only a few local election results in England and Wales to come, Labour has lost 461 seats and eight councils, including Newcastle, Swansea and Leeds.

The Tories have gained 259 seats and won Trafford and Tamworth. Charles Kennedy said Lib Dem gains proved the UK now had true three party politics.

Early indications in London show falls for all three main parties - and relatively strong showings by George Galloway's Respect party (5%) and the UK Independence party (10%).
