Liberal Democrats thrash Tories in the Blue Wall

[stockhausen]

Sarah Green of The Liberal Democrats have pulled off a stunning by-election victory, overturning a 16,000 majority to win by more than 8,000 votes in a seat that has always voted Conservative - a swing of 25%!

Is this a sign that if the Tories don't succeed with their fantasy "Levelling up" scheme we will eventually end up with a Lib Dem / Labour Government?

I wonder what stunt Boris will try now to get himself back in the good press. He cant get married again, can he?

Divorce . . . revelations about a "Love Child" . . . sacking Matt Kin'Useless?

Sort of makes sense as there's lots of 30s/40s London commuters settled in the area who will be generally pro EU/Libdem. Surprising they won though.

Labour performance possibly worst ever?

Certainly not a seat in which one would expect Labour to do well - but doing that badly - really?

Keir Starmer doesn't appear to be helping
