A claim has been made by a senior UKIP member that Labour received around 70% of the Postal Vote and that Labour and UKIP were close amongst those voting on the day. The suggestion being that the postal votes were sent in prior to the foster scandal breaking.
Due to the likely demographics of the postal voters I don't personally think there would have been a result change due to later voting.
However I've seen nothing here or anywhere about the breakdown in postal and polling station votes. So much has been written about this election without to my knowledge this crucial piece of information.

I might be wrong but I think Labour generally do better on postal votes, also I don't think UKIP were "that" close.

This is hardly new, anyway - Farage was making similar claims at the count.

Breaking News -police are to reopen their investigation into claims of expenses fraud against ex-MP Denis MacShane.

Breaking News -police are to reopen their investigation into claims of expenses fraud against ex-MP Denis MacShane. I am puzzled by this one. If the only new evidence was provided by MacShane under Parliamentary Privilege, can this be used in court? Are are the police on a fishing expedition? |

Revises UKIP prediction downwards. The Hamiltons are "on maneuvers" appearing at campaigning events here there and everywhere. You can fully expect one, or both of the, to run for for highly remunerated public office within the next two years. bump. Just found this... |
