Just want to remind everyone that the Green candidate went from fifth and 9.3% in West Deepwade, in South Norfolk, in 2021 to winning with 29.8% in July this year. Now there is not a former Conservative running in Freebridge Lynn, as there was in West Deepwade, so maybe the circumstances are different. There are some other differences though - West Depwade is (at least partially) in what will be a target constituency on the new boundaries and thus received quite a lot of attention from outside the local party. There was also a candidate who was a former MEP. Freebridge Lynn has a candidate who is already a local councillor (and from results, seemingly quite a well-liked one?), but I'm not sure if there has been the same level of support and action from outside the local party. We'll see tomorrow how it all plays out. |

Just back from knocking up in C&W. Both Labour and Conservatives had teams out as well so certainly competitive. People in charge seem pleased with how it has gone, without any guarantees if course.

Whilst I haven't entered the prediction competition for a long time, I would have predicted a Lib Dem gain. |
