Did the Lib Dems GAIN that seat in Devon from the Tories?

By Caron Lindsay | Thu 7th December 2017 - 11:22 pm

The party had high hopes of gaining a seat in Devon from the Tories tonight.

Nice one, Caroline Leaver and team.

Sadly we didn’t have a candidate in the only other principal by-election of the night, in Enfield which Labour won convincingly.
