There was some very good news from last night. The British Nazi Party got smashed.

The British National party leader, Nick Griffin, was coming under increasing pressure tonight after the party appeared to be on course for its third electoral setback in 24 hours.

Early indications from the council elections in Barking and Dagenham suggested the far right party had performed poorly, falling far short of the votes it requires to take control of the east London authority – one of three key BNP targets ahead of this week’s elections.

The council setback follows Griffin’s resounding defeat in the parliamentary seat of Barking where he was beaten into third place, getting 18,000 fewer votes than Labour’s victorious candidate Margaret Hodge.

The British voters told the racists to get lost, they lost all of their seats in Barking and as a result the extremist British National Party is now looking at tearing itself apart. Good.

1. Yes, that is the best news of the election!

2. And they lost council seats elsewhere too

They had 36 up for re-election, and now only have 14 - a loss of 12 in Barking and Dagenham, and 10 elsewhere.

3. And so say all of us.
