Labour Wins West Lancashire byelection with best performance Ever.
Consevatives told to move out by the electorate. Labour voted in by 62% of sensible people. The Cons meanwhile recorded their worst ever performance...".We've got the Blues on the run". ,,"Oh happy Day"

yes glad Labour won the seat but as it was already a big labour majority its only what was expected, surely noone except the Labour candidate had any thought's of winning. Turnout was a pathetic 31% compared to usual 72% so what does that tell us??

[bobbinwales]

Glad we won but lets not get carried away.... the Labour vote has fell from over 27000 to 14000

This is an utterly disgraceful title for a post. It is not breaking news and already has a thread from this morning. As I expect there will be a huge rush to post a breakthrough in the missing woman case with a similar title I think you have overstepped the mark in the poor taste stakes.
I'd report it if I thought anyone would take any notice.
