Certainly not a bloodbath as some predicted No, actually a pretty good week for the Conservatives. What do I know? There's a reason I don't enter the prediction competition. |

It’s skewed by them not having many defences, but I would say the Tories local by election performance has improved a bit since Christmas. Jan and Feb feel as a whole more like poor than terrible.

Yes I think "pretty good" is a bit kind. They have lost 2 seats but "not as bad as it might have been" would certainly be fair. Their performance in Jedburgh, though not very surprisingly, was very strong.

Anyone know of any previous Labour wins in Bakewell? I looked in Elections Centre and didn’t find any; they didn’t contest it in 1995.

I am originally from the Peak District, and I can never remember Labour winning in Bakewell at least in the past 50 odd years. Chapel-en-le-Frith, Whaley Bridge, Wirksworth, even villages like Hathersage & Eyam and Youlgreave, yes. Bakewell (and Ashbourne) no. |

10% for Labour in Jedburgh is actually fairly encouraging.

Chapel-en-le-Frith, Whaley Bridge, Wirksworth, even villages like Hathersage & Eyam and Youlgreave, yes. Bakewell (and Ashbourne) no. There is a fair bit of demographic change in the Peaks. The communities with relatively easy access to Manchester or Sheffield are attracting educated professionals who are pretty unsympathetic to the current Conservative brand. But Bakewell isn’t particularly accessible. What is generally (with some notable exceptions) a staggeringly beautiful area has always attracted an arty element and that seems larger. But the other explanation may be quite local - a strongly motivated and rooted Labour Party. |

Their performance in Jedburgh, though not very surprisingly, was very strong. They held two of their seats on low shares due to the opposition being divided (comically so in Kent) so got lucky to a degree. |
