Two gains from the Conservatives in town council by-elections (majorities of 16 and 19 – a healthy reminder of the importance of working for every vote) in Winsford and Chatteris. Congratulations to Diane Bladry and Alfred Theron. Thanks also to Chris Howes, who stood in the one district by-election, coming second in a Tory held seat in Fenland.

Come on Mark. There were no Lib Dem gains yesterday from the Tories – take a look at Conservativehome.
Tories – dont you just love ‘em.Not.
Greenfield: Odd comment from you, as Mark reports that on a whopping turn out of 15 per cent, we won a town-council seat from a Tory. Dont know where the place is, but, to quote Nick’s first words on hearing his leadership election result, “a win is… a win.”
