The Liberal Democrats have taken a council seat from the Conservatives in a by-election.
Carl Squires won the poll in the East Hunsbury & Shelfleys ward on West Northamptonshire Council - a seat previously held by the Tories - with almost 40% of the vote.

Its in a area that the Torys control the area Council. How ever you try and twist it . It's a Major Defeat to the Torys. |

If they did not exist and those voters voted Tory then that would only put the Tories a few points behind and by the election they could at least stop Labour from winning. Johnson got such a large vote because the Brexit party people lent their vote to get Brexit done. Previous elections they didn't so the Tories lost out. |

Let's put a few FACTS here shall we westnorthants.moderngov.co.uk/mgElectionAreaResults.aspx?XXR=0&ID=61&RPID=4296097On the 6th May 2021, when BORIS was PM, a total of 3,296 people hauled themselves off their sofas in this backwater of the fiefdom my direct ancestor was handed as a favour for military consultancy to William The Bastard, and between them cast 8067 votes spread across six candidates, three conservative, one labour and two liberal democrats. Of those votes cast, 1900, 1800 and 1700 (ish) were for the three tories, 900 went to the Labour token presence and the two lib dems did even worse with around 800 each. westnorthants.moderngov.co.uk/mgElectionAreaResults.aspx?ID=77&RPID=4262948The election which totheleft wishes to declare a "STUNNING" blow against the tories saw a single seat come up for grabs and ABOUT ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FEWER people bothered to turn out. Of the Two Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Eight who did, a mere Five Hundred and Forty Seven voted labour - so on a turnout of aboout 65% the size of the 2021 election, LABOUR managed only FIFTY EIGHT per cent of the votes they got then. Hardly a stunning endorsement of Starmer's electability The Conservative candidate collected half as many votes again as Labour, but clearly the 1100 who stayed at home were doing so because of Sunak and the drop to 41% of the total votes from 65% of the voters meant that the Lib Dim, who last time got 800 votes, got 20 more, which was enough to give them the seat by a margin of eighty votes If that is a MAJOR DEFEAT I am Cadwallader the Welsh Goat Herd |

Turnout falls before the big elections, see what happens later in the year. You may get an unpleasant shock.
The Tories are not popular, but neither are Labour.

The election i’m waiting to see the result of happens later this month The Green Party won’t win because their candidate said something on social media ten years ago so has agreed not to campaign. But George Galloway has stepped in and will no doubt hoover up the haram voters It will be interesting to see what Starmer's Friendship With Israel will mean and i think this particular seat might tell us. |

I expect Sunak to lose and i expect to hear the blow by blow recriminations in the real tory vote straight from ‘sister in law central’ (i was never any good with these relationship diagrams, what term describes my daughter’s mither in law ? No, not those terms…. After having my business destroyed by Blair’s bribe-driven antics and watching literally thousands more the size of mine wither and die thanks to Wankford’s net zero pedalled antics, nothing could shock me, not even the rioting. I’m putting the castor beans in the propagator in a few weeks … |

It’s a council seat from a turn out of less than a quarter . Yawn.. indeed. I did the comparison to the last such as you’ll see. The one figure i didn’t find was the turnout, i’ll take yours above at face value because it’s par for the course this near the end of a parliament. I don’t know what will happen at GE time but i think it likely turnout will be higher … !!! |

In another council seat in Crewe the Tories gained the seat from Labour with a 20% swing. The Express tried yesterday to claim this was significant for the election which is as nonsensical as trying to read conclusions from TTL’s example.
Nothing to see here.
