Labour won 1 of the 3 seats in Preesall ward back in the 1990s, but this is the closest they have come since.

I know that bit of Maidenhead and the more surprising thing is that you only once managed to carry that ward, in 1995, and even then didn't win all the seats |

Has anyone any clues about the Thanet counts and their timings? I have completely failed to get a whisper on this

The local party is active there. We don't have one strong Labour ward there even though there's a reasonable but small Labour vote |

Not a whisper, and the Thanet DC website doesn't make it easy to find out. Nothing on their twitter feed either.

Why do we need a reminder? Because not all of us have an encyclopaedic knowledge of council election results in Kent, Pete. Well I'm not sure any of us do - I certainly don't, although it was mentioned in Andrew's preview which most people will have read in the last day or so, so a long memory or encyclopedic knowledge isn't really required. But in the same helpful spirit in which the Bishop posted and apropros of nothing, I shall remind everyone that Labour won 10 of the 12 council seats within the area back in 1995 and the Conservatives won 0. |

In the spirit of co-operation that Pete had so typically engendered it should be pointed out that UKIP won 8 of the 15 seats within this division as recently as 2015. They had councillors in 5 of the 6 wards and a near miss in the other.
That was a mere four leaders ago.

Its probably as good an example as any of a seat which Labour came close in 97 but didn't expect to - despite the council election results. Since then its also a very good example of a seat, indeed, a whole area, which contains demographic groups not inclined towards Labour. And where the good results of 97 - 01 were something of a blip Mind you, I don't think either of these wards were that great for us even then! |

I had predicted that Angie Curwen would come second in the county poll and third in the district.Wrong way round! Suggests that the Lib Dem strength (if you call it that) was in the villages, not in the more urbanised areas around Birchington and into western Margate, which had not altogether surprisingly a more Labour tinge. The overall results were bitterly disappointing for the Lib Dems given that they had a first rate candidate and a "proper" campaign for the first time anyone can remember, though I have to say I heard more about this pre-Christmas -awfully difficult timing to maintain a campaign over Christmas and New Year for anyone, which does tend to favour established parties who just need to pull out their regulars on the day. Having said all that this was still the best showing the Lib Dems have put on in this very tough area for them in quite a long time.
