Corby Eat Ward (no surprise here): Lab 1063 Con 252 BNP 141 LibD 37 Although the source seems to think it's a Labour Gain  No surprise perhaps, but a good result for Labour and a poor outcome for the BNP who worked the patch quite hard. The Labour vote share appears to be 6.1% up on May 2011, so should be pretty happy in a ward like this in a very marginal Parliamentary constituency. |

The Waltham Forest result stands out as notably good for the Tories - unlike most recent by-election results (last night's included)
Any explanations??

Partial guesses - the GE turnout in 2010 clearly gave Labour a vote share they get nowhere close to matching at other times. There's actually been a 7.5% swing to Labour since the 2009 by-election, which is more in line with what you'd expect. I also wonder whether the local conservative party is just muich better organised and resourced than the others. |

Well, they very probably are in the Chingford part (where this ward is) - it is notable they were able to hold most of their seats here even in their low-water marks of 1990/94/98. Waltham Forest is a notably polarised borough.

He's a Conservative councillor in Bradford. I don't think i'm 'outing' him in an unwelcome way. This is the name he uses on Twitter Ah, right...... Its just that there is already a "simoncooke" registered here, who was also logged in last night  Same profile details as well - I'd say Simon had simply forgotton his details (not posted since Bradford West Bye) and reregistered if you hadn't said he was on last night in his former incarnation.. odd |

A lot of people have been quoting loads of percentages in this thread, but without giving the actual results.

I would assume in the absence of anything extraordinary Louise Bagshawe will be publishing more Chick Lit from 2015 and Louise Mensch will possibly be seeking nomination for a safe Tory seat in 2020.
However the seat of Corby is incredibly polarised and ther are I think safe Tory wards in E Nthants to match the safe Labour bits of Corby. And probably with better turnout. So if the Tories lose say 30 seats to Labour (she is a new incumbent which is probably good for her) she would be in trouble.

Yes the is especially around Oundle, though Raunds is winnable for Labour |
