Their answer to everything seems to be "We ran a positive campaign."

Perhaps the Keynes quote is in John's mind? What Keynes quote? "There is no harm in being sometimes wrong, especially if one is promptly found out", perhaps. I prefer the one about dentists. |

Interesting that Johnny Mercer is doing the media circuit as the ‘sacrificial lamb’ taking the bruises - even if Uxbridge makes it a bit of an easier task. Makes him seem more of a party animal.

Is the result likely soon, or should I go to bed? I expect once we've finished the night, with the UxSR result, it will be one each.

This is fun. At the start of the night, we were sort-of assuming that
Somerton & Frome would be gained by Lib Dem
Uxbridge & South Ruislip would be gained by Labour
Selby & Ainsty was the uncertain one, with a large swing required by Labour
but now we are bored waiting for Selby & Ainsty to limp in last after the exciting result from the other two.
