Con hold Puckeridge Con 42.9% UKIP 18.9% LDem 18.0% Lab 11.0% Green 9.1% Not bad in a ward we didn't stand in previously, though probably with a tiny turnout. Pretty grim for Labour. |

I like Andrew's description of Stott's mob.

Interesting to see the UKIP score up a tad in the circs. Labour vote drops by roughly same amount that LD rises, Tory vote does same with UKIP. |

Obviously the circumstances were appalling and in a small ward that can matter a lot. And it has elected non-Labour councillors before and is not as monolithically working class as you might presume, but shit is shit and this is shit. |

An astoundingly good performance by the LDs in Tupton.

IIRC the LibDems took a seat from us in a previous NE Derbs byelection about a decade ago, which had actually been unopposed previously  And no, I can't believe the cirumstances of this vacancy helped..... |

Previous byelections haven't usually shown a big reaction to the misdeeds of the departing councillor transferring over to the new candidate. There is an effect, but it's a small one - not a 38% one.

And, and, and, alright then: just Dennis Skinner it is! Your boys took a heck of a beating! etc ad nauseam. If it's any consolation, the local Tories didn't do too well either; as the previous second place party, if the circumstances of the resignation were that important, and what with the Theresa Honeymoon and the Corbyn-PLP Acrimonious Divorce, you'd think they might fancy their chances. |

I like Andrew's description of Stott's mob. Stott has the distinction of being the only person I've ever blocked on this forum. |
