Massive Lib Dem swing to GAIN Sunderland council seat from Labour in by-elections clean sweep

We’ve run some cracking results late on Thursday nights in the last 8 months but this one is pretty amazing even by those standards.

Last May, in the Sandhill ward in Sunderland, we got, to put it euphemistically, a modest 90 votes. Labour got 1229.

And tonight, this happened.

I’m sorry. What?!

Yes, you read it right.
