Surprised to see no UKIP candidate here as they won the county seat last year.

EDIT - Sam Robinson appears to have been nominated by the incumbent UKIP county councillor Gaston Dezart. He is also the former Conservative county councillor who was defeated by Dezart last year.

Disappointing that there is no Mr Roy standing here. Though I suppose they would be ineligible as Hoveton (where the shops actually are) is across the river in North Norfolk.

I don't see it publicised on the website anymore but it was formerly stated online by Broadland District Council that the Sprowston Neighbourhood Development Plan Referendum would be counted on the night and the Wroxham by-election would be counted the next day. So unless matters pertaining to Sprowston are of interest there is no reason to stay up waiting for the Broadland result.

[middleenglander]

The Broadlands count is at 9.00 am in the morning. Believe the other 3 are tonight.

FLASH

Labour gain Portsoken

[BossMan]

First ever Labour councillor in the City of London, I believe?

[Davıd Boothroyd]

Not the first ever person to be a Labour Party member and a member of the Common Council (or the Court of Aldermen) but the first person elected as a Labour Party candidate.

[BossMan]

According to City of London Corporation's twitter feed, they won't put the result online until tomorrow. That's rather a pain...

Any chance you could use your local connections to get the result, David?

[Davıd Boothroyd]

I've asked.

In the meantime, here's a blog about the byelection campaign: portsokenelection2014.wordpress.com

[Davıd Boothroyd]

I have the full Portsoken result:

Rev William Goodacre Campbell-Taylor (Labour) 137 (36.8%)
Marie Georgina Brockington (Independent) 98 (26.3%) - candidate of the Portsoken Ward Club
Evan Philip Millner 47 (12.6%) - a libertarian
Syed Mahmood (Independent) 44 (11.8%)
Roger Frank Jones 26 (7.0%)
André John Paul Walker (Independent) 11 (3.0%) - allied with the Young Britons Federation
Muhammad Yusuf Al-Hussaini (Independent) 9 (2.4%) - stood as a joke candidate

[Ben Walker]

Gamston (Rushcliffe):
CON 444 44.2% -10.0%
LAB 218 21.7% -3.2%
UKIP 173 17.2% 17.2%

Keith Joseph became Baron Joseph of Portsoken when ennobled.

That was in honour of his father, Sir Samuel Joseph, who was Alderman of Portsoken ward and Lord Mayor 1942-43.

Serious dislike. What could they add to anything in the City?

So at least those 13 people actually had someone to vote for this time...
