A quartet of by-election victories in key Parliamentary seats

In addition to the gain off the Conservatives in Hampstead Town (Hampstead and Kilburn constituency), there were three other excellent Liberal Democrat results last night in key Parliamentary constituencies: on Truro City Council, the Liberal Democrats took a seat off Mebyon Kernow (Truro and Falmouth constituency), in Alfriston ward, Wealden District Council, the Liberal Democrats took a seat off the Conservatives with a 24% swing (Lewes constituency) and in Colden Common & Twyford ward (Winchester constituency) we held a seat with an increased majority and swing from the Conservatives.

    Glad to see we can even defeat Mebyon Kernow on their home turf.

    Despite the rising whatever-their-colour-is tide.
