This was an HS2 issue and 18,000 voters didn’t turn out. The Tory candidate was also very woke and green. However, this should be a wake up call for Boris. There is a whole different country outside the Westminster Bubble and it is fed up with being lied to, fobbed off, and locked down. You can’t run a Democratic country by fear.
My feeling about the Batley bye-election is that it may well depend on the effect the maverick Galloway has. He won't win, of course, but it is possible that he could take enough muslim votes from Labour to hand the Tories victory. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
