MM reporter Charlie Smith spent the night in Oldham as Labour celebrated more dominance in Greater Manchester.

Of the 19 seats contested, 17 were won by Labour and two went to the Conservatives, with turnout for most wards hovering around the 30% mark.

Despite turnout being significantly down – just 25.89% of those eligible voted – Labour finished with 17 of the 20 seats up for grabs while the Tories took home three seats.

The party retained 16 of their 17 seats up for election on Thursday night, their only defeat coming to the Liberal Democrats in Milnrow and Newhey.
