Blair urges party to hold nerve
Tony Blair has urged Labour MPs to hold their nerve after the party suffered its worst ever local election results.
With nearly all results in Labour had lost 464 seats and eight councils, including Newcastle, Swansea and Leeds.
The Tories had gained 263 seats and won Trafford and Tamworth. Charles Kennedy said Lib Dem gains proved the UK now had true three party politics.
Mr Blair said an anti-war protest vote had hurt Labour but said the party must carry through its "radical programme".
Speaking in Washington after President Reagan's funeral, he said: "It's a question of holding our nerve and seeing it through."
Earlier Home Secretary David Blunkett told BBC Radio 4's Today he was "mortified" Labour had not done better, while Deputy PM John Prescott conceded the voters had given Labour a "kicking" because of Iraq.
Turnout across England and Wales was about 40%, up an average of 9% on last year - an increase not confined to the four regions piloting all-postal ballots.
In London Ken Livingstone provided a rare bright spot for Labour by being re-elected mayor.
In the London Assembly elections there were falls for all three main parties - with George Galloway's Respect party (5%) and the UK Independence party (10%) both gaining.
Projections
The elections are the biggest test of voter opinion before the next general election but the final picture will not be clear until the European results appear on Sunday night.
On the basis of voting in 500 key wards the BBC is projecting an equivalent national vote for the parties of Tories 38%, Lib Dems 29% and Labour 26%.
If correct it would be the first time a party in government has finished third in terms of national share of the vote in local elections.
It would give the Tories a result on a par with its local election results achieved under William Hague's leadership in 2000.
But the Tories point out that it looks like being their biggest lead over Labour since John Major won the 1992 election.
BBC political editor Andrew Marr predicted Mr Blair's critics on Labour's back benches would use the results to reopen discussion about his leadership of the party.
The results offer the first electoral verdict on Michael Howard's leadership of the Conservatives.
"We had excellent results last night - we are now represented up and down the country in the cities where we want to play an important part," he said.
Tory co-chairman Liam Fox said they had won some "spectacular results".
"I don't for a minute say that the result today would guarantee the Conservatives winning a general election, that would be absurd ... but it's good solid progress for us," he told Today.
The Lib Dems held Liverpool and won 10 seats in Manchester but dropped control of Eastbourne to the Tories, as well as losing Norwich and Cheltenham. They had a net gain of 132 councillors.
Leader Charles Kennedy said: "This is a great result for the Liberal Democrats...
"We're continuing to not just hold, but to substantially advance our position, this is really three party politics in Britain and the media here really need to wake up to that fact."
The Green Party will also be buoyed by keeping its seat in Manchester, as well as picking up four seats in Oxford, two in Norwich and one in Watford.
The UK Independence Party won a council seat in Hull and another in Derby.
Dice
The British National Party took three seats from Labour at Epping Forest, gained a foothold in Bradford with four seats, but failed to gain ground on Burnley Council, where it slipped into fourth place, losing one seat to the Conservatives but gaining one from Labour.
The final days of campaigning were marred in some areas piloting all-postal votes by allegations of fraud and voter intimidation, which are being investigated by the police and the Electoral Commission.
An independent councillor in Hull has said he intends to mount a legal challenge against his election result.
John Hemming, Lib Dems leader in Birmingham, said he wanted some 500 votes from a key ward put aside for further scrutiny because he was not satisfied with how they had arrived at the count.
Two candidates in Slough were forced to roll a dice to decide the outcome of the election after two recounts failed to split them. The Tory beat the independent.
