Time for a trip to the WRVS Naomi , you will be late for the Knit and Natter club.

Better luck next time, Gulliver. :o)

[THECORBYLOON]

Since there was a much smaller turnout than the last election, is it any wonder the majority was reduced?

[naomi24]

So you said, Corby. Must have been a lack of enthusiasm.

[THECORBYLOON]

I mentioned it again only because you mentioned the reduced majority again.

Although the turnout was reduced by a half, the majority was reduced by less than a tenth.

[gulliver1]

19.53 are you ok TTI, What's this bottle you keep mumbling about , I think you have just emptied it , lol.

[gulliver1]

Where have you gone to TTT ?.

[Deskdiary]

Labour retains a Labour stronghold shocker.

This is on a par with Conservative retaining Tunbridge Wells.

You could put a blue rosette on a piece cheese in TW and it would win, and a red rosette on the constituency in Erdington would produce the same result.

This is an utter non-story. I

[gulliver1]

See Labour are still ahead in the polls , despite Boris acting out his Fantasy as Sanction Churchill .

[gulliver1]

Just noticed this By election, Erdington, is right next door To Snobby Con, Andrew Mitchells ward.
"Sutton Coldfield" Wonder if he rides his Bike amongst his Pleb neighbours or does he leave it with the cops at Downing St .?

[tonyav]

Only the East side of Erdington neighbours Sutton Coldfield, Erdington is a big area.

[ichkeria]

No one has seemed to mention it, and overall it was a low turnout, but what I found odd was the enormous gap between the figures for the two main parties and everyone else.
From memory I think Dave Nellist came third with 350 votes and Lib Dems had about half that

[ToraToraTora]

so do you take the bet gully or have you bottled it again?
