[farmerbarleymow]

Jesus, that tory MP on the BBC is annoying. Full of shit.

 

[PR1Berske]

I'm listening to one of those "communities" on Twitter. Someone quoting an anonymous LibDem source claims that Labour have gained Mid Beds, which would be one of the highest ever swings in a by-election ever recorded

if true then that's huge but i would take that with a pinch of salt atm?

Did they say how the lib Dems have done?

 

[PR1Berske]

Highest swing to Labour in a by-election: Dudley West 1994 (29.2)
(Selby and Ainsty was 23.7 and was MASSIVE all the same given the raw numbers)

No idea, but hopefully not the vermin.

Remind me who's the vermin again

Yes, keep the salt to hand.

LDs are sticking to their line that they've done very well in the villages.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Every time I watch these election programmes it reminds me of how much I hate the lib dems.

(Swing, crudely speaking, is "difference between first and second, divided by two)

Umm, no it isn’t. It’s about the change since last time. And gets a bit weird in three horse races

 

[Bingoman]

Lib Dems think their vote share is about 25% and the Tory vote has collapsed

They [the Ld's] haveve just said they think Labour willl win min-beds. Labour confident re Tamworth too.

 

[Bingoman]

Sources have told Sky News that Labour may of won Mid Beds by 3 or 4 thousand

 

[farmerbarleymow]

BBC reporting Tamworth might go to a recount.

Traditionally it was always top two (thing swingometer). It's changed over the years.

 

[Calamity1971]

Tory candidate not shown up for results yet. Everyone waiting in Tamworth

 

[Calamity1971]

This is great. Someone is going to find him

 

[PR1Berske]

And yes, I've just woken up having fallen asleep trying to stay up to wait for the results lol

 

[Calamity1971]

They've found him.

 

[JimW]

I don't want to go to the count. The tellers hate me, the press hate me, the party workers hate me.
But you're the candidate!

 

[farmerbarleymow]
