I am giving up. It is almost 4am here. And I have to get up with DD at 7am.

Will do school run, then go back to bed.

Ok, he is saying 6% swing.

Clary, Erewash is a shocker. You're right.

EweStupidToryVoters · 07/05/2010 02:48

A labour hold would be great in Edgbaston, just waiting for confirmation it would seem!

SomeGuy · 07/05/2010 02:48

lds lost harrogate because their well-known local candidate stood down and his personal vote went to the tories.

CaptainNancy · 07/05/2010 02:48

Clary · 07/05/2010 02:47

clemmette yes it was on ITV and also on BBC website, no detail so don't know swing

clemetteakaSylviaPankhurst · 07/05/2010 02:46

Oh yes, just seen it. I have lots of young counsins in Erewash voting for the first time; they all voted Green. I didn't want to disabuse them of their idealism. Grrr.

Jaquelinehyde · 07/05/2010 02:46

Erewash is a conservative gain from labour 10.5% swing!!!!!!!!!!

Clary · 07/05/2010 02:46

well I know, some of Ashbourne not so posh, but the area in general is pretty swanky.

Unlike Erewash ffs - Ilkeston and surrounding villages, why are they voting Tory???

Beachcomber · 07/05/2010 02:46

Can see how ham shine doesn't really travel. I think you had to be there at that particular moment of brilliance.

aloevera · 07/05/2010 02:46

But lost Harrowgate...

Aitch · 07/05/2010 02:46

CaptainNancy · 07/05/2010 02:45

And Eastleigh has turned LibDem.

veselaliberalka · 07/05/2010 02:44

Huhne held with a 3% swing, and Eastbourne taken. Maybe I can go to bed a bit happier now
