The openly-racist British National party last night won its first council seat in the capital since 1993, with a landslide victory in an east London borough.
In a byelection last night, the far-right party's candidate, Daniel Kelley, gained from Labour with a 470 majority at Barking and Dagenham Council's Goresbrook ward. The BNP had not fought the seat in the borough's last polls in 2002.
