Stoke and Copeland Matchday By-election Thread

[e77]

If Labour lose both Corbyn's position has got to be untenable.

It was fairly untenable when the PLP lost confidence in him but he still trucks on.

He won't go anywhere without the McDonnell amendment going through and that is by no means a certainty so I can see the impasse continue and the Conservatives laughing.

Latest odds in Stoke Labour 2/7 UKIP 5/2 looks like Nutcase will soon join Farage in the amount of unsuccessful attempts to become an MP, shame he will lose the Brussels gravey train too

Tories way out ahead in Copeland as well.

Could'nt happen to a nicer bloke.

 

[This is me]

Conservatives will win Copeland.

There are enough thickies in Stoke to re-elect Labour, which is great for the country to keep the worst leader of a main party since Foot still in power

Why He'll still have the support of t'membership!!

Sadly, t'membership ain't the same as the electorate! Seriously I really can't see him going, he is so oblivious to what his 'rule' has done to Labour...

Turnout reported to be under 30% in Stoke even lower than I predicted!

3/10 voting in a parliamentary election is ridiculous

Reports that Labour have held Stoke and Copeland.

The massive Stoke By-Election. Where are all the student votes? They were all pi$$ing themselves with rage that anyone over 40 were allowed to vote a few months back

It clashed with the weekly student union happy hour and quiz.... Christ, you have to get your priorities in line.

Labor hold Stoke with a majority of circa 2,500 UKIP and Tories on around the same vote share.

Reduced majority and reduced share of the vote in a safe Labour heartland. Amazingly poor effort.

Clearly a huge disappointment for UKIP.

The governing party, the Tories, increased their share of the vote. Only the 6th time since 1970 in a mid-term by-election.

Snell doesn't seem a great candidate and I doubt he will end up as much but still enough to beat out UKIP in the Brexit heartlands.

Historic result in Copeland.

The Tories WIN the safe Labour seat mid-term.

Amazing scenes indeed.

 

[Titanic]

First time the governing party have GAINED a by-election seat held by the official opposition since the 1960s.

Congratulations Trudy Harrison, the 1st Tory MP for Copeland since the 1930s.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Labour lose Copeland to the Tories who have a circa 2,000 vote majority.

 

[e77]

An absolute catastrophe for the Labour Party in Copeland.

Corbyn should go. He won't, obviously.

I don't know anything about Snell but saw him interviewed the other day and god did he seem dull.
