Bloody hope so
Bloody hope soI still think Labour may cling onto Batley anyway
Getting your hedges in order?
I don't think the Galloway plan will work and is more likely to take Tory votes - he is pro Brexit and a nationalist. I do not think the Muslim vote here is pro Labour especially with a gay pro Israel candidate
I think getting Jo Cox sister in is a shameless bit of politicking and don't agree with it but its bound to attract sympathy. The Muslim protests at Leadbetter will not go down well.
This has been a rather ugly and unpleasant campaign
So at the risk of starting a war, how did these election get on, did Labour get wiped out?
Find out tomorrow. Don’t think polling has closed yet.
That will be why grendel is strangely quiet then I guess... I was expecting to see him gloating
what are you on about ive posted today on this thread
It would be a miracle if they win this. They had some locals on the radio at lunchtime saying they were longtime Labour voters getting stuck into them for cuts to the local councils budget.I'd be very surprised if Labour win.
It’s genuinely terrifying how some of the locals have been hoodwinked into deflecting the blame away from the Tories.It would be a miracle if they win this.

I'd be very surprised if Labour win. They have absolutely no vision, terrified of their own shadow. Whilst the candidate rattles on about there being "no magic money tree" whilst the magic money tree has paid many people for over a year just shows how useless their strategists are. Trying to win yesterday's argument. Morons.

It was always thus really.The threatening funding shite is proper scummy campaigning. Shouldn’t be allowed. And is a load of bollocks anyway, see all the Tory councils that end up begging for cash recently.

However with devolvement etc, metro mayor's it's a simpler stchik to play especially under Osborne.
Yes I believe it was rejected at the outset but came to be as finance was linked at a time when councils were starved of funds and selling off assets to survive .You have to remember that Coventry Labour agreed to abide by the spending review as part of the devolution deal without even knowing what they were.
Coventry councillor says West Midlands Combined Authority is big smokescreen – AFTER vote to join
A LEADING Coventry Labour councillor has admitted the West Midlands Combined Authority is the \coventryobserver.co.uk
Always got to blame on the Labour right as well; Lucas, Ruane and Co with forcing this on to the people of Coventry without a referendum.
Apparently, populism was to blame.
With powers going from the City Council to the WMCA in the setting up of the combined authority, which made a referendum necessary, and also DEMSOC stating a referendum was also needed, then blame needs to be proportioned to the advice Coventry Labour received from certain officers from CCC, and of course, to the Labour right in Coventry and other Labour councils as well as the Tory Party in general.
Not saying those odds are dodgy, but the NIP didn’t even field a candidate.Any idea on the policies of the fifth party on that list?
They’ve got better odds than the lib dums!!

Well quite - it doesn’t mean much without a name, let’s see who’s making moves if it does change hands.
No but at by elections you have to have policies on everything and are held responsible for everything if you are Labour. If you're Tory you can hide away, put out a vague promise to "level up' and nobody will remember that your party has been in power for 11 years and will vote for you as you represent the change they angrily want.Can someone please explain to me how the reduction in central government funding over the last 11 years is on labours hands?

Great stuff. A decent MP wins, and this will annoy all the right people.
Jeremy Corbyn, Chris Williamson, Owen Jones, Vladimir Putin, Saddam Hussein, your boy took one hell of a beating.
I don't know about you but I am noticing a trend here.
