That's because another result is in that area and for some reason they hadn't separated the results properly..

That's a big swing away from Labour, but very low turnout.

Yep, most of the turnouts are very low (Hartlepool was 10%) but they’re still interesting straws in the wind. Thinking about it, it’s probably mostly older folk that bother with local by-elections and they’re not gonna feel well disposed to Starmer’s party atm

Starmer and co will take false comfort from the early years of Thatcher, when things looked bad for her. However, she was boosted by the Falklands War: no easy equivalent stunt for Starmer…

Will be interesting the by election result in my ward next month. It's the biggest Labour strong hold in town and even stayed red when the Tories targeted it a few years ago and mopped up the rest of seats up for grabs.

Yeh his overseas conflicts likely to be larger by an order of magnitude than the Falklands and he's not got thatcher's nous or her balls

If Starmer's lucky, Milei might be planning to annex the South Sandwich Islands.

Apart from being creepy, I like to investigate the human stories behind the headlines.
Lewis Mears - last on the list.
Hoping to get the scandal I Googled as one does "Serving the Old Dean community as a Councillor has been an incredible privilege", says Cllr Lewis Mears | Surrey Heath
and also LinkedIn.
Seems like Councillor Mears is a poster boy for modern technical education.
He's been on a Sky apprenticeship at Ravensbourne University doing production engineering wrt Cloud systems.
Now he's completed his course he is buggering off out of the country.
Is an apprenticeship like a sandwich course - I mean a nifty way to avoid student fees?
Just asking.

I remember when UKIP had a surge of gaining council seats a few years ago. Turned into a massive shit show and most of them lost their seat again within a short time as they were completely underqualified and not up to the job at all. Looks like many people have very short memories.

Yeah - but in those days (before cabinet government) councillors actually had to do some work - especially if they ended up in some sort of local coalition.
In this case Reform are totally insignificant, unless they start a trend in Wolverhampton - and they would need another 17 before no overall contrrol
