Ouch for Conservatives. They finished 4th in a seat they held.

By the way, their last win in a local by-election is going back at January 24, which is quite bad, especially as they lost seats on the way.

The former Conservative councillor in Norfolk had killed his wife in a murder-suicide, which may have influenced matters.

[ObserverIE]

Yes... circumstances of that nature are... less than ideal as a trigger for a by-election...

Oh.

Trigger.

Sorry.

The circumstances in Harrow are not ideal either.

Speaking of parish councils, the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition have won a seat on Maltby Town Council, in Rotherham borough, in a two horse race with an independent.  Apparently this is the first time TUSC have ever won an election.

Whose front organisation are TUSC?
