Candidates:
HAYDOCK, Nicole Paule (Green)
McGILL, Gavin Phillip (Labour)

RAJA, Sohail (Conservative)
ZWIERZANSKI, Angela (UKIP)
2018: Lab 1673; Con 960; Grn 185

The Conservatives are re-standing their candidate from May, whilst the Lib Dems have a fresh candidate (sorry – couldn’t resist). I’m guessing the UKIP candidate is the wife of the candidate from the recent Besses by-election.

Unusually interesting contest for the minor places in Bury. The Gwynfi contest might be similarly interesting if anyone knew what the different Indies stand for! ?? Quite a crunch contest for our lot in Knaresborough.

The East campaign has been less lively than the Besses by-election (also in Bury) last month.
I'd say that only the Labour campaign has been a full campaign. The Tories have put out one leaflet, a little bit of canvassing in the middle class bit and not much else. It doesn't really make that much sense as East was a much better prospect than Besses for the Tories and they ran an energetic campaign there that got them a good swing.
I've not seen any leaflets from any of the minor parties. My guess would be Greens and the Lib Dems will fight it out for third place.
Expecting a very comfortable Labour hold but the Tory vote holding up respectably due to their candidate's strength in the Kashmiri areas.

An excellent preview of East. Though I would recommend the Trackside over the Clarence as the best pub in the town. |

Not sure I've ever really been in the Trackside, but I do remember what the Clarence was like in its previous incarnation and the present Clarence is a hundred times better.
Bury is counting tonight, incidenrally, in the Elizabethan Suite at the Town Hall:

Gwynfi is definitely counting tonight. Can't be sure about Knaresborough but there is the time delay to think about: when it's eight'o'clock in Leeds, in Knaresborough it's still 1957.

There's been a result in Gwynfi, Labour didn't win, and Plaid Cymru were second.

Wow. 4!
Labour having a candidate from Port Talbot didn’t look great beforehand.
The winner was an ex councillor for the ward and the only candidate to live in the ward

Not a good result for Labour in Knaresborough at all.

Blimey that's a terrible result for Labour - though not sure it signifies much outside of local politics. There seems to have been some kind of rift in the Labour party in Gwynfi, as the resigning Labour councillor who caused the byelection nominated Independent Joshua. |
