Listen children, can you hear the ghost of Clement Freud laughing? Perhaps, but we do need to keep that ghost away from any actual children. |

Laughing because he got away with it?

What the hell happened here? Frazer's vote melted - Reform took a hefty chunk but I must imagine a fair few Tories sat on their hands at home. The area has a steady stream of people priced out of Cambridge/London every year, which has a background effect, but the other element is that she just wasn't a very active MP - am told by friends who still live there that she avoided Ely like the plague during the campaign. |

NE Cambs is more the successor to Freud's seat than this one is. That result has something in common with the May 1990 Bootle by-election  |

I’m not local but based on her press appearances I can imagine Fraser rubbing people up the wrong way - her performance as Culture Secretary on Kay Burley accusing the BBC of ‘bias’ was woeful not least for a KC, which Burley remarked on afterwards! The Lib Dems would have been pretty peeved if they narrowly missed out here as the Labour vote also went up a bit, almost costing them the seat. Whereas in South Cambs tactical voting was ingrained into Labour voters and the Labour vote went down despite bringing in Cherry Hinton for the first time. |

There's a lot of new housing coming at Waterbeach, but most of it hasn't been built yet.

If the new MP is who I think it is, i remember her from Birmingham SDP back in the 1980’s.
*Edit* and having now seen a photo I can confirm that it is indeed her.

I have just noticed that Charlotte Cane first stood for Parliament for the Liberals in Birmingham Selly Oak in 1987. 37 years between first standing and getting elected as an MP must be close to a record surely? |

That was as an SDP-Liberal Alliance candidate in the seat where she then lived (just round the corner from where I now live, as it happens). I don't think she's been a candidate in every election since, however. |
