  • When there is a clutch of by-elections on the same night, whatever happens to the Lib Dems, it is worth asking which appears to be Labour’s best result in terms of change in vote share. This week it appears to have been the East Yorkshire contest where Labour got 20.3%, an increase of 7.2% – which is better than the standstill in one of the Ribble Valley Wards and a drop of 8.2% in the other one. Dover, Ashford, Rutland and Aberdeenshire didn’t have Labour candidates. Lib Dem ups and downs shouldn’t blind us to something serious happening inside Labour.
