Bernard Jenkin did quite well to hang on in the circumstances. This was a Labour gain in most of the MRP polls.

In contests in England, where Labour started 2nd, this in the top 10 ‘best’ holds Of Con seats in England where Labour started 2nd the lowest majorities held by the Cons were 1. Chingford & Woodford Green 2. Keighley & Ilkley 3. Harrow East 4. Stockton West 5. Croydon South 6. Bromley & Biggin Hill 7. Harborough, Oadby & Wigston 8. Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner 9.

Yes, this result suggest Bernard is perhaps a bit smarter than the Richard Curtis caricature.

One of the worst results of night. Jenkin did more than most to cause the loss of 200+ Conservative seats. He could have a least had the decency to be among them.

This was one of the first seats where Labour HQ locked the local CLP out of the canvassing system to try to force them to campaign in target seats. Given how comfortably we took Colchester, that doesn't look like a great decision in retrospect.
I'm less convinced that the result has that much to do with Jenkin's campaign. It did pick up a bit at the end, but it wasn't really visible until the final week.

That would possibly be a bit of an overreaction anyway, these things are easy to criticise with hindsight and the seat was hardly needed to get the majority over the line

yes it's a typically hysterical & over-the-top comment made from a fount of, shall we say, limited knowledge. The Labour Party's targetting strategy can hardly, in the light of the results, be derided as a failure in general terms.

Especially since the person who will have made that decision doesn't work at party HQ.
