Full result

Matthew Symonds The Labour Party Candidate 1432 40.41
Jonathan Heyes The Conservative Party Candidate 377 10.64

Overall Lib Dems trail in third place with 25% of the vote, Labour second with 29% and Tories are the winners at the moment with 33%. Lib Dems have failed miserably to get overall control. And it looks like Bristol is going Tory. HELP!!!!

Both Hoon & Blunkett claim their connection with the studio has gone when asked 'awkward' questions. Blunkett even responded to Dimbleby asking if he could hear him by saying' " No. I've lost all sound this end !"

Bishopston just declared and the Greens came second to the Lib Dems with 24% of the vote - this was a Labour ward until four years ago and they came third!

Lib Dems not done as well as they'd hoped here, looks like the Greens have taken plenty of votes off both them and Labour

Horfield not in yet, that's a Tory/Labour marginal - recounts maybe
