My sister and brother-in-law went to vote about an hour ago.
My nephew started at University a few days ago (about a week earlier than I had expected) and has not travelled back from Brighton to Norfolk in order to vote in the by-election, because he suffers from the insane hallucination that having fun at Freshers’ Week is somehow more enjoyable than doing an 8-hour return journey and writing an X on a piece of paper.

I'm slightly surprised that the normally scrupulously researched Andrew's Previews has missed the fact that Hutton Rudby and Osmotherly contains the constituency home of one Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP. As a result I expect the Lib Dems to have thrown the kitchen sink at it with the aim of spinning the line on Friday that Sunak has a Lib Dem councillor. |

Evidently Ian Brookfield had represented more than half the electorate of Wolverhampton North East at various times..

It's a lovely part of the world. |

I dont. However I suppose his withdrawal will make the by-election an out-of-Body experience  |

LD 37.9%(+14.2%) Green 12.3% (+12.3%) YP 1.4% (+1.4%)
No Ind (-28.5%) or Lab (-8.2%).
This is a good Con result and the swing to LD is modest to say the least of it. Excellent result. |

If the Greens had followed Labour's example and withdrawn their candidate, N Yorks would be under No Overall Control. There's always one isn't there  (well there's usually several). This particular twat has apparently been boycotting Twitter since October 2022.. |

Sadly, I doubt whether the Tony Fisher comment is correct, in several counts. First, I very much doubt whether those voting Green on this occasion, of whom quite a number would have been first choice Labour voters going for their second option, would have switched en masse to the Lib Dems, and the numbers required would have needed almost all of them to do so. I think a number of us may have missed just how Tory the Independent vote was last time, so it was a bigger mountain to climb than we thought. Secondly, I guess losing this seat might have required a closer cooperation between the North Yorks Tories and sundry independents and maybe therefore in the end a strengthening of their hold on North Yorks Council. |

He’s not correct about it being a big swing to the Lib Dem’s either- the swing from Con to LD was about 2.6%. I think the council is technically under NOC still as well, as the Conservatives have 45/90 with this win. Apart from the vote numbers ( which we assume are right), there isn’t much else that is correct in his comment. |
