Results

I'm not a councillor, but we did score our best ever result in Islington North, our best ever result in Islington South, our best ever council by-election result and our highest ever vote in Highbury West, so the outcome is "disappointing, but still a good result".

Those results in full (with inexplicable gap resulting from my first attempt to hand code a table within a blogger post):

Nationally, the result is apparently "fantastic", but tinged with the disappointment that we didn't get our first MP this time round.
