there is little more to say about this result.  OK, there is a challenge! There was a swing to Tory more or less in line with the national swing to Tory since May 2019? |

Ah Bless!! Poor wee things too shagged out to even stand a candidate. The Planet will just have to wait to be saved whilst we snoflakes recover our diminished strength. Life is so hard ..................... At the edge! What they really need to recharge their batteries is a break where they can switch off from the world and all its woes. A beach holiday in Cyprus, for example. Or Crete? (if you are referring to who I think you are there appears to be some existential doubt..) |

Loss of personal vote of longstanding councillor maybe? Anyway, we were too far ahead to be caught, and a new councillor has a chance to develop a personal vote of their own. |

Did you deliberately ignore the joke?

That may be in there but the Tories got swings like that this May without campaigning at all |

The image in the link reminds me of analysis overseen after the 2014 Belgian election if memory serves: " Les verts sont dans la nature" Better not attempt to translate.. |

That should have read PPC, of course. Fat fingers or something.Would have been even more interesting if PCC. Particularly if it were a Parochial Church Council and not the Police and Crime Commissioner... |

Remarkably the new councillor in Oakham South, the Lib Dem Paul Browne, first stood as a Liberal candidate in the 1970 general election; this was in Rushcliffe when Ken Clarke began his long paliamentary career. Has he had any local election success between then and now? I understand not (but no direct knowledge). |

That would indeed be an altogether wise course of action. Wich in turn brings to mind the Wise Guys. They too tried a rendition of " Alle meine Entchen", albeit a disappointing one. More interestingly they managed to cobble together that rare perfomance of a good football song: PS. Them lucky sods... try supporting the Alemannia. (no pun intended) |

(no pun intended)Pity is indeed the automatic sentiment towards Aachen fans! I was trying to make a pun on 'the altogether' and 'naturism' but I feel it was perhaps a stretch too far. Anyway, I too am an admirer of The Wise Guys, particularly Denglisch and Nur für Dich (though the tone of the latter may offend 2020s sensibilities). |
