There's Going To Be A Lot Of Analysis...


...but for me, it's this result here that may prove the killer blow for Boris:


The 'Conservative' Party losing a seat they only won by a small majority in a byelection held because their MP got sent to prison for sexual offences is practically a given.

But losing a seat like Tiverton and Honiton is very much not! Perhaps it was the quality of the candidate offered?
There were bizarre scenes when the Tory candidate, Helen Hurford, arrived for the count at a leisure centre in Crediton but hid in a dance studio that had been set aside for media interviews, refusing to speak to reporters. After the declaration, she left the hall immediately without making a speech.

Clearly, we need more women in politics for their unique, errr, ummm, someone help me out here?

    To be fair, the Grauniad is hardly likely so say something nice about a Conservative candidate. Honiton's local paper simply said that she declined to give a concession speech (only the Labour, For Britain amd Green candidates did)

    Good point, but where does the real truth lie? Not in either journalistic organ, I suspect...
