Does anybody have any news Somewhat confusingly Jason Zadrozny of the Ashfield Independents originally Tweeted those numbers as Collingham, Nottinghamshire, implying the County Division, but has now put out a second, more clear Tweet. |

My eyesight (I’m now working sans glasses as nobody has yet developed a ventilator face mask that allows the wearing of glasses at the same time) missing the word “county” in the Tweet, and Zadrozny putting the same figures in a Tweet just referring to the District council. |

Just flagging there's a boob in the Southmead writeup because Bristol NW is held for Labour by the estimable Darren Jones. |

the spectacular Conservative gain in Wigston is another example of a council with a longstanding monolithic majority (in this case for the Lib Dems) seeing a very big swing against it in a by-election. Other recent examples are Leicester which of course is next door, and Manchester. It may be that these results are connected, but of course there could be other specific local reasons for each result and we shouldn't consider these results as connected in any way.

It was one of the stronger Tory wards, but it's still a wake-up call. |

I think it’s been noticeable that the Lib Dem recent results in councils that they already control have generally not been nearly as good as those in councils in which they are not in control. See North Norfolk, Eastleigh, Oadby. I’m not sure that necessarily is because the Lib Dem council is unpopular, but it’s much harder to get a good result when already in control, whichever party you are. |

And it is a perfectly proper argument, whoever is in control, to say that monolithic control does not make for good governance, so vote for a decent opposition. The Tory candidate seems to have been high profile from a mark made further up the thread too. I'd think batman is right - it seems like the Manchester result of a couple of weeks back in reverse |

'Forward With the People'! 'Solidarity With the working Classes'! 'Unity Is Our Strength'! You can just see the pebble glasses, the forage cap with little red badges on it, can't you? A step back to happier days. Pushing it close? Really? |
