Can't find them, but one of the result tweets says 694 votes cast. So it's going to be roughly Con 299, LDm 400 Think that should read Con 294? Or they've found 5 votes from nowhere? Yes of course, don't know what the hell I was doing there. |

Does anyone have any knowledge of middleenglander? His work on the weekly results and monthly summaries is being badly missed. I think his penultimate post suggested he had "important issues" to deal with- I'm hoping he's okay. Still logging in fairly regularly I think, agree that his summaries are very valuable. |

Turnout was below 10% in Wigan (Ashton) and in Test Valley (Andover Romans) - 5.3% and 9.6% respectively.
The only other turnout below 10% in this municipal year (since 5 May) was Sefton (Linacre) on 24 November - 8.8%.
The remaining turnouts yesterday ranged from Amber Valley (Wingfield) - 22.9% to
Ipswich (Priory Heath) - 16.5%.
I have gone back to May 2019, but cannot find any other turnouts below 10%.

Whilst the weather is obviously a major factor, it does also appear there were significant postal vote problems due to recent industrial action.

I agree I always took note of the swings which I have no idea how to work out For what they are worth, the swings were Amber Valley 17.8% swing Con to LD from May 2019 Ipswich. 5.2% swing Con to Lab from May 2022 Pendle. 3.5% swing Lab to Con from May 2022 Test Valley. 14.6% swing Con to LD from May 2019 Wigan 0.8% swing Con to Lab from May 2022 |

Isn't that 3 weeks running with 2 Lib Dem gains each time? Slightly better as two weeks ago, there was also a gain in the one by-election held on the Wednesday. So it's eight gains in the last four weeks, including yesterday, all from Cons or Independents, 1/3/2/2 week by week |

The Wingfield result suggests that the LDs put some effort in there. They were second in Crich last time, so maybe a suggestion that they might be thinking about targetting the new ward in May?

Presumably so. The LD candidate in both Crich and this by-election, Kate Smith, has been the parliamentary candidate in every general election bar 2010 since 2001. |

I understand the conservatives did four rounds of leaflets. Unclear but some amount of work from the Lib Dems. We do assume this will be their target ward next year. Kate is a fixture of Crich Parish council and pretty much is the Lib Dems here. |
