Sarah Olney win and the support of More united

Heard about the win on the news this morning but it hasn't been mentioned yet that she had huge support from the new campaign group More United www.moreunited.uk who helped get volunteers out for her etc.

I have only just heard about them so without thinking it through to the end I am cautiously optimistic.

Wondered if others had heard of them and what they thought.

I haven't heard of moreunited but was very pleased about the win. I guess the Brexiteers will try to dismiss it as grumpy remoaners and predictable because Richmond voted very solidly for remain in the referendum, but by any standards that's a massive majority to overturn, particularly in a by-election.

Not surprised by the result in a mid-term by-election in a strong (grumpy or otherwise) remain area.

I'm a Conservative voter and have no interest in more united, who will more likely appeal to the left, if anyone.

The Women's Equality Party got behind her too and also did some local campaigning.

Surprised that the support of both WEP and More United hasn't had any coverage.
