RHONDDA CYNON TAF Tyn-y-Nant BARTON, Julie Ann (Labour) 411 GREEN, Rob (Conservative) 62 BELLIN, Ioan (Plaid Cymru) 35 Labour up 9% and the Tories down 16%. A very poor result for them given this is an area of the county where they shouldn't do too badly.

We await the figures but this will be at least a 12% swing since 2019 and 7% since 2015 whilst following on from Sandwell: Tividale last week. |

Probably a good result for the people of Leicester, virtual one party states are bad for democracy.

Why have women's equality supporters decided to vote Tory?  It's possible the 2019 WEP vote was basically ex Kippers protest voting with the only option on the ballot paper. The WEP was initially strictly against a position on Brexit; it subsequently changed but how well that position was actually known by voters here in May 2019 is anyone's guess. |

Lots of spoiled papers in 2019, and it was the same WEP candidate. I doubt if the WEP policy on Brexit had anything to do with it either way.. |

Not sure this is quite as big a shock as the prediction competition would suggest. The neighbouring North Evington ward saw an even bigger swing in May. |

Do you know where it is? (I did not see it in the thread) Thank you! It is crystal clear that Labour is in a bad shape in Leicester East. (but in my opinion not in a bad enough state to actually lose the seat) |

I am very curious about Fortune Green as it is pretty close to my home turf.  |
