Gordon Brown, Roy Oldham, Paul Dowthwaite, Mike Ballagher, Claire Francis, Bernhard Walsh and Pauline Harrison your Party took one hell of a beating.
Tameside Tories were celebrating last night, with gains in Stalybridge North and Staly/Duk bringing Conservative Councillors to DOUBLE FIGURES 10.
In other huge shock Richard Ambler gained a near 800 vote majority, i say this is a shock, we expected to retain the seat but not by that margin.
I personally think that the people of Ashton Hurst, realised what a mistake they made last year by voting for the useless Alan Whitehead.
On a sour note! the Labour Party in Audenshaw, were an absolute disgrace, with special mention to their candidate for the underhand campaign she lead.
Lets hope she will back up her pledges? but if we base it on the other two Councillors, i don't hold much hope.
Conservative candidate Stacey, lead a clean campaign and never got personal with the Labour victor, and should be proud of what she did and will continue to do in Audenshaw.
Derek in Hyde Werneth, won with an increased majority, i have been critical of the Labour candidate regarding what she put in her Election leaflet, and some of the blatant UN truths she had been advised to put.
But what I've heard she showed respect, and dignity in defeat, and for that i applaud.
I feel for Claire as she has had her head filled with magic, by people who many people including their own party don't hold in the greatest esteem.
This is an open invitation, to Claire to join the Conservative Party as we are able to look after our candidates, and wouldn't not have treated her like her own party did.
In other areas we did fantastic St Michaels, we reduced the Labour majority to just 6, and Denton West to 14 both will turn Blue in 2010.
Also Longdendale, we are breathing down Labour necks, CLLR Oldham we are coming to take YOUR SEAT.

7.4% swing to Tameside Tories, with Tories taking 36.5% of the vote compared to Labour's 41.6% and just 2,784 votes separating the two parties.
Conservatives now have control of Stalybridge District Assembly and hold balance of power on Mossley District Assembly.
2 seats won - one in a ward never won before, another last won in 1975.
3 seats successfully defended - one successfully defended for the first time.
Two wards lost by just SIX and FOURTEEN votes.
Yes it was a great night for the Tories. It could have been better, but the hard work is now paying off.
The people of Tameside now know that there is a real alternative to Zanu Labour.
