Labour pundits were eagerly predicting the Lib Dems would be slaughtered in a Sheffield local by-election yesterday, and would simply be hoping to avoid coming last. The reality was a little different. Labour comfortably held on to their safe Woodhouse seat, with both them and UKIP taking votes from the Conservatives, who were pushed into

The Conservatives have taken back Horsell from the Lib Dems, and held the division I live in St John's and Brookwood in a close result ( with UKIP syphoning of a considerable amount of the vote ). The Lib Dems have won Woking central from the Conservatives, which will please them.

YouGov has just released a European Election voting intention poll and it has Labour in third behind UKIP. The poll has the Tories on 26, UKIP 18, Labour on 16, the Lib Dems 15, the Greens 10 and the BNP on 5. However, if those not certain to vote are included the numbers become the Tories 37, Labour 21, Lib Dem 19 and UKIP 8. So, who can get their vote out is going to be key. It is hard to imagin...

At the European Elections before last, poor old Auntie had relentlessly plugged them and was left utterly baffled by their failure to win even one seat. Whereas last time, she was still classifying UKIP as "Others" even when it had beaten the Lib Dems. Here's hoping that the BNP will be this time's Pro-Euro Conservatives. And here's hoping that, even without the newspaper support that UKIP enjoyed...

The result saw the Conservatives win by a slender 106 votes while UKIP polled more than Labour and the Lib Dems combined. The chairman of the NW Cambs Branch of UKIP, Robert Brown, told Tory winner Andy Monk: "We made you look very nervous tonight and I think we surprised you and all the other political parties with our well-earned second place. "A special thanks must be given to our membership wh...
