The BBC have still not updated this, I see. It's 12 seats now, (and I might add that there are a number of legal challenges afoot over ballot-rigging, which may deprive Labour of their slender majorities in some wards). Also worth mentioning that we added three councillors from Newham (we got 26% of the vote in that borough, but only 5% of the seats - that's first past the post for you).
