oh dear. Even if he thinks that, it's not a good look to say that publicly. Makes him look, as they say in Craggy Island, like a fecking eejit.

I see they've called the Conservative candidate from May a Lib Dem... not sure who'd be more offended by that. Local Journalism... |

That is one impressive result for Labour and, whilst they will seek to dismiss it due to "circumstances", it will be a worry for the SNP leadership of what might lie ahead. |

I suspect that the Labour candidate being the incumbent councillor in Sunderland was a factor in just holding that seat.

They kept all but one vote they got last May on a much lower turnout when everybody else's vote except Labour's was crashing through the floor. Yes, no huge strides forward but then who is really expecting them to make those? They did about as well as could be reasonably expected  I actually thought the British Unionists might do a bit better than that here... |

Good night for Labour so far. everyone else except me thought that Labour would lose it, the only exception being Robert Waller. true, but a lot of people thought it would only be a matter of 1 or 2 % either way, and it the becomes extremely difficult to know how those last few votes will fall on the day. Can you be sure when the majority came down to 13 votes? |

Very surprised Labour held Hendon. The council still isn’t too popular, so a free hit by-election should have been a great opportunity for the Lib Dem by-election machine to do their thing (I would have expected a Lib Dem blowout before a Labour win).

Disagree. Thought labour would do much better. Sunderland results were good for them in May (no losses) and they had the luxury of being able to pile in to this byelection. So I am surprised it was this close. |
