Perhaps the most interesting leaflets of the Derby by-election campaign for one of the independents, Juliet Edgar, can be seen on her Facebook hereLabour, UKIP and Juliet Edgar have all leafleted the area I'm not sure about the other parties. Labour should win by miles of course but it will be interesting to see how UKIP do given that when Paul Nutall stood they used to do quite well. It will be also interesting to see if Edgar's left of Labour anti-politics leaflets get her votes in Derby ward. I have leafleted Derby ward in the past (when one of the sitting Labour councillors defected to the Lib Dems) and suspect turnout on a cold day like todays will be very low maybe below 20% but I haven't been involved in the campaign at all so this is nothing more than suspicion. Derby ward is Joe Benton's home ward. The ugly face of politics raises it's head. |

Couple of other notes - Chris Griffiths hadn't attended the last 7 Council Meetings at last count and I believe he has now graduated from the Uni and moved to South Wales.... Whether or not illness was involved, this by-election was pretty dead certain  There was no LD candidate at County level in 2012 because of a nomination form error (not my patch back then) - but it would have been Richard Morgan Ash the candidate we put up for Town Council in 2012, although he was a paper candidate. This is Plaid's strongest ward in the county and even a good LD result here would be earthshattering. A lot of Plaid politicians who have since moved up the ranks started out here, including the current AM Elin Jones and former MP (now MAWW Regional AM) Simon Thomas and it has a frequent history of Plaid causing by-elections due to resignations. I believe, from those longer in the tooth than I that no seat in the ward has been won by anyone other than Plaid since the 70s. And this should probably come with a disclaimer, I'm pretty heavily involved with the LibDem campaign for the by-election The local party have selected out best candidate in a decade and worked the ward hard and I hope (as do my feet) that the result will be much better for us this time than it has previously. Turnout will likely be around 20-30% depending on the rain - it's generally a high turnout ward, although somewhat depressed by the 1000 odd student voters. I'm assuming that Neuadd Pantycelyn is in the ward? And not irrelevant to Plaid's success? It is - actually about 15% of their vote tonight came from there...... It's about to move to the new Faenor/Padarn ward however, which will make it a non-Force in Ceredigion politics for the first time in, oh, about 30 years. The result tonight was a 6% swing from Plaid to the Lib Dems. And judging by certain faces at the count, Plaid had not been expecting that. |

Does anyone know what time the count in Harrow is due to commence? 10am I'm guessing. 6pm here so in time for tea.

That's a stonkingly good Labour performance and a very weak Conservative performance. This was a split ward in 2003. Certainly good to be maintaining May 2011 support and not be impacted by UKIP. It's also, it has to be said, an absolutely dreadful result for the LDs considering they managed second here in 2011. The Durham and Nottingham results are good for Labour. |

Tonyotim - Not usually my style here, but Nottingham generally over the years has been one of the really worst performing cities for Lib Dems. Almost as bad as Glasgow!
Frankly, this week apart from Harborough, it has not been a good week for Lib Dems.

I don't have a problem with next-day counts, but does nobody in Harrow get out of bed until lunchtime? I agree; given that Harrow apparently has the largest Synagogue in Europe, could it be related to Friday being the Jewish Holy Day? |

I shouldn't think so - indeed, it's not particularly helpful for practising Jews, given that Sabbat begins at sunset, which should be around 16:23 in London. |

Point taken, religious practices aren't my forté I'm afraid. |

Given Ceredigion is supposedly a Plaid target, it's hardly great news for you |
