The far-right British National Party added to its tally of seats in English local government after becoming the second biggest party in Burnley.

The party secured seven seats on the council - knocking out Labour's deputy leader in the process.

After a large protest vote, the BNP now holds eight seats on the council.

It also secured seats in Stoke on Trent and Calderdale as well as the Hertfordshire town of Broxbourne.
