LD gain in Elmbridge: Green - 54 Reform UK - 19 Lib Dem - 890 Con - 778 Lab - 47 Turnout 27.6% This was a straight NIMBY campaign tbh. |

Why did the indies in Newark resign? I’m guessing Ms Dawn might have been age/health related after 33 years on the council? |

The Conservatives have held this ward comfortably since it was created, on slightly different boundaries, in 1976. The local MP, Dominic Raab, has been out several times including today. Some of you 'astonish' so very easily. It is a local by-election on a 27.6% TO in summer. It is irritating but largely meaningless in any wider context. It is a little short of the 'Second Coming'! |

So, we are having both Labour councillors in Inner London and Conservatives ones in the Home Counties worried? The Lib Dems certainly seem to be doing well in the most middle class parts of the Home Counties at the moment. In Esher and Walton there was always a risk that the Tory position would slip as people in the Lib Dem heartlands in SW London moved further out and took their voting preferences with them. The children of Lib Dem voters in SW London who can’t afford to buy their own property in SW London are probably moving further out too.That gave me a chuckle - unable to afford London so moving to Cobham. |

Thank you, David! I was about to post the following link and comment that it was not very helpful www.newarkadvertiser.co.uk/news/results-of-newark-and-sherwood-by-elections-announced-9205701/However, I am still putting it up as it mentions a town council result, also from yesterday. Conservative win in Devon ward at the other, southern, end of Newark on Trent town Even more than Bridge, Devon ward (pronounced Deevon like Newark's 'second' river) is strongly working class, social housing heavy, and traditionally Labour's strongest area in the town. Devon has been won by the Conservatives before recently, but yet more evidence of the class realignment in voting we have been seeing. |

Still waiting for Writtle, Chelmsford result. According to LD tweets there were at least 3 Tory MPs out campaigning in this ward yesterday....

Though Devon is actually rather a ward of strong contrasts, the the northern part of the ward very comfortably middle class (the area where my family members live). I'd imagine most of the Green vote will have come out of there, with Labour getting nothing outside the estates and the Tories possibly marginally behind on the estates but comfortably winning the middle class area. |

Not exactly surprising that a Lib Dem thinks a Lib Dem would be a better Councillor and promotes that idea on Twitter. |

I would say its a great thing the Tories have had to campaign as never before to try and hold it, whatever the result. |

No, not surprising at all, but Id hope there could be a better way of saying it. |
