I think so - the middle name is the same.

The Liberal strength in Bethnal Green was down to Percy Harris, Liberal MP for Bethnal Green SW from 1922-45. Harris's victory in 1935 was, I think, the last time the Liberals won a Westminster seat in the LCC area until the 1983 Bermondsey by-election. After his Westminster defeat in 1945 he was returned for the LCC in 1946, holding his seat until his death and the balance of power after the 1949 elections. He had a final shot at the (now merged) Bethnal Green seat in 1950 but came second again. Roy Douglas took over the candidacy in 1951 and held second place but slipped to third in 1955. Despite staying in third until the mid 1970s the Liberals contested the seat at every subsequent general election, something that didn't happen in many places, even those where they'd had a post war victory. Boundary changes to Bethnal Green, which added the Hackney wards of Victoria, Triangle and Wick to it (from 1950-55 it was just Bethnal Green MB), sapped the constituency's Liberal strength further. |

Assume people are aware of all the ward by ward results of last week's local elections on the Britain Elects page? Apologies if it's been posted on this site and I've missed it...

I am aware but I cannot get any sense out of it. The first two areas I wanted to look at were Ashford and Bassetlaw. The first only gave one ward 'Beaver' and the second only three wards. Nothing I did or pressed would persuade it to divulge any more. |

There was one by-election to Ashford council and three by-elections to Bassetlaw council and those are the results shown. County council results for those areas are under the county council name (so Kent and Nottinghamshire respectively). Hope that helps. |

I can see why carlton43 was looking for Ashford and he should have realised that at district level there would be the one by-election for the second seat on Beaver, held fairly comfortably by the Tory over Labour and with token votes for an Indy, Green and Lib Dem in that order. These days paper Lib Dems get paper Lib Dem votes. There was a time (Carlton's?) when Beaver was overwhelmingly Labour- the ward was predominantly postwar council housing, with a few bits of Victorian terracing and a few interwar bungalows. There was a time (towards the end of my influence) when it was marginally Lib Dem over Labour, with two Lib Dem councillors both recruited to the party by me. Now 2 decades on it's a Tory/ Lab marginal with Tories in occupation. I suppose that may please Carlton. |

Why does the facility only provide by-election results? It does not appear to be headed By Elections? What have I missed. How do I get all the national results in one place. |

Bassetlaw council's move away from election by thirds in 2011. Ashford apparently has always had whole council elections. |

I've got to say I can't find any results from this year at www.britainelects.com/votes/ - just seems to be by-elections from the pre-lockdown period |

An amazing job to have input all those results in such a short time - well done to all those involved. Not that I haven't already seen the results obviously, but I notice the two Hertsmere by-election results are missing from there. Is it still being updated? (it looks for the most part to be complete)
