Good news. A real boost for John Leech. Swings to the Lib Dems in his constituency as follows:
Withington - 18% swing to Lib Dems
Chorlton Park - 2.6% swing to Lib Dems giving over-1000 majority
Didsbury West - 3.3% swing to Lib Dems
Burnage - 8.8% swing to Lib Dems
Didsbury East - 2.7% swing to Lib Dems
Chorlton - 3.5% swing to Lib Dems
Old Moat - 2.9% swing to Lib Dems
...giving six Lib Dem wins on the night out of seven wards.
Lucy Powell "off to a flying stop"!
