The resigning councillor in Eastleigh has made a stinging denunciation of the Liberal Democrats and endorsed the Labour candidate, which might shake things up. Labour last won a seat on the council in 2007. If it made any difference, it wasn't in the way intended by this intervention. As pointed out at the time, postal votes mean any effect would have been diluted anyway. You do sometimes get the impression some haven't fully caught on to this. |

Funny what sticks in the memory and what doesn't |

I suppose the fact that the entire Eastleigh Lib Dem machine could focus on the one ward helped them to pull further ahead of Labour. See my post upthread, it unfolded exactly the way I expected (as did Hailsham). |

The cumulative totals since the beginning of September 2021 are now: Con -231.0; Lab -228.4; LibDem +362.6; Green +182.4. The LibDems lagged behind the Greens for most of the Autumn, and the Conservatives were doing less badly than Labour up until early December.

They will be interesting for a variety of reasons. Will Labour fancy their chances of making a breakthrough in Eastleigh? They weren't that far behind in this ward earlier this year, a distinct improvement from 2019. Do we know if the disqualified Independent is backing the new Independent in Alcombe? Rather odd to see a Social Democratic Party candidate in Wealden, but no Labour or Green. Will it make a difference? I doubt it, but the Lib Dems ought to win that one with ease. Two problems for Labour in Eastleigh Central. The Greens are standing and that will hurt them here more than any other party and the Tory vote will likely collapse with everything that's going on and little of that will go Labour. And Labour have been close but no cigar here (and predecessor seats) many, many times since they got wiped off the council but have never followed up. It's obviously not impossible but something would have to go very wrong for the Lib Dems to lose this one. I concur that Hailsham should be a turkey shoot for the Lib Dems (though Hailsham's a more Johnsonian demographic place compared to most of Wealden so I wouldn't expect a catastrophic result for the Tories compared to an Uckfield/Crowborough by-election at the moment for example). I’m thinking of moving to Hailsham so very interested in your comments about it being a Johnsonian place, what are its characteristics! |

I was surprised by how rundown the town centre was not having been before.
