Its 3am in the Guildhall and Minns has lost his seat.The Lib Dems have been swept from power in Hull. We thought 3 gains,hoped for 6 and looks like taking all 12

Deserved to go....made my day

So have the tories won all the seats in hull then...lmao

Although I'm in the East Riding rather than Hull, this has made my day

Bye, bye Minns and the Lib Dems. They have paid the price for propping up the Tory government nationally.

Hallelujah

Fantastic news, be funny as fook seeing this muppet having to sign on.

Good riddance

surely Minns realised that we'd only lent them our Council. Never again will the electorate be fooled into believing that the lib/dems are really conservatives in orange clothing!! ......brilliant results all over the north .......grannyfan Cindy

My local councillor was a lib-dem, he did a fantastic job for us locally, BUT I had to look at the bigger picture. I am a council worker and can't risk losing my job if they stayed in power. Hopefully the Labour Party will stick to their pre-campaign promise of no compulsory redundancies. Will be well p*ssed off if they don't and be joining those made "compulsory redundant" last night.

How anyone can vote labour is beyond me; the mess our country in is because of them, not the Lib Dems/Conservatives. There wouldn't have to be huge cuts if labour didn't spend well beyond their means.

Don't live in Hull anymore but good riddance!

They vote Labour because they know that the economic problems in this country is exactly the same as the trouble thoughout the Western grabalots. These stupid people gambled on the stock markets to try and build their own purses....when stocks dropped to bottom did they pay---oh No, they relieded on the government to bail them out. It happened in the USA with EllieMay and followed on with Northern Rock in the UK. It was even worse for the likes of Ireland, Portugal and Greece. I still think that Spain too will pray that the likes of China will help them as the UK has with our banks. By the way, have you checked lately just what sort of bonus these very same gamblers have been awarded this year, all be in in the form of shares, which they will be able to turn into equity in the future. Do so and then try and blame the Labour Gov for the mess this country is in at the moment.

Labour want to get the deficit down by using true economic ways, ie get the defecit down over a slightly longer period by using a building program to get people back to work (earning money again and therefore paying tax into the country instead of taking more and more in benefit) and other such methods.

Well said Cindy I wonder what the new administrations attitude to the Allams pipe dreams and Hull Fair etc will be?

Does this mean we can have Speedway back ?

I'll hazard a guess that this is the first time you have lived under a Conservative administration. Give it another year to see what the extent of the public spending cuts are, in terms of loss of earnings and the consequent loss of taxation. This administration has already targeted the most vulnerable and will continue to do so, while their backers reap the benefits of lower taxation and a short-cut to dipping their hands in the public purse.

It's been over 30 years since I lived and voted in local elections in Hull and while I am pleased to see Labour doing well locally, I'll sound just one note of caution. Post WW2, Labour enjoyed virtually total control in Hull, this resulted in some of the most useless, self-promoting, so-called socialists ruling the city. I would hope that the brief period of LibDem control will ensure that the good people of the city never allow any party to achieve a similar situation.
