Neil Hamilton thinks George Soros could be funding a campaign in Newport West LOL You can’t be surprised. They’ve gone after Muslims why not start embracing antisemitic memes too? |

Maybe he's holding a Skype meeting with someone in Australia.

Honestly, if we can all stay up for it, surely a candidate can.

Liberal Democrat candidate not at the count due to "longstanding commitment" Don't know why we said anything. Plenty of alsoran council candidates don't get up on the stage for the result and no one bats an eyelid. Famously our Copnor by-election candidate in 2008 missed the count in Portsmouth thanks to a similar longstanding commitment. In that case though he won by 900 votes and his daughters delivered his acceptance speech... |

I thought that although it's common for council candidates not to turn up for the announcement they usually do for parliamentary ones. |

I assume this will mean the highest number of female MPs ever.

Never heard a returning officer read out the list of candidates before the votes before.

By-elections are just more showy. |
