Coffey loses to Labour. One of Labour's most impressive gains.

Time to wake up and smell the Coffey. They're doing this at the start of the Parliament for a reason. Most over-65s didn't vote Labour here. Vote splitting gifted them the seat. The same is true in much of Norfolk too. This seat isn't exactly wealthy, frankly. I guess there's hidden poverty too. I had a friend from Beccles once. Suffolk isn't exactly that wealthy although South Suffolk certainly appears that way (Lavenham etc). I guess when it was the wool trade dominating everything, Suffolk was rich

On this occasion, you have a point. There is very little doubt over-65s will have clearly preferred the Tories over Labour here, as in most of England and Wales.
The thing for Labour's dissenters to now concentrate on should be on improving the original - and distinctly Treasury Brained - proposal.

If she’s tweeting things like that maybe eyeing up a return run in five years?

Labour had their Eye on this seat for a while. I see what you did there!! It was this seat where Mrs Thatcher posed holding a calf with a young John Gummer as candidate?
