Just for fun

If this result was repeated nation wide, the Tories would be left with 3 seats ???

Wouldn’t that be good ??

Yes but wishful thinking gets you nowhere. Not sure what the liberal wets can do. Even I think Labour win would have been better.

You sound just like a Tory. Lemons anyone?

You’re very rude, again. Yes I am a Tory as you so disparagingly seem to put it. Lemons, no love, can’t stand them. Very bitter like many on here after a Tory win, or metionofBrexit.

It will kill me though . I voted lib dem once when Corbyn was playing the ultimate game of self indulgence with the labour party but I swore I would never do it again. I know I know, but the Tories.

Tactical voting gets results!! It is the way forward.

And Labour would be obliterated now that really would be good ???

Absolutely fantastic news!

So relieved ?. I hardly dared to look this morning..

Well done LibDems.

It may be midterm but Tories can’t argue this away as a blip. 200 years conservative wiped out by Lib Dem’s supported by Labour supporters. It had cheered my day.

Kandinsky - this seems more than a protest vote.
The LibDems lost support, IMO, after their coalition with the Conservatives. The were in a position to influence but actually voted in support of the bedroom tax - twice. When no longer in coalition, the LibDems announced they now could see how damaging that tax is. There were other issues but I found that unforgivable.

I wonder why the libdems never actually win general elections?
They seem to be more of a ‘protest’ vote.

Well done Helen Morgan ?

A wake-up call for the good Conservative MP’s…

It seems to me that most good Tories are outside of the Tory party

Brilliant new! We’ll done Helen Morgan.

The most positive news I’ve heard in a while. Well done Helen Morgan and thank you everyone who voted for her. The constituency had almost 200 years with a Conservative MP. If they don’t recognise this is a message to the Conservative party and not just to Johnson, they really are in trouble (yippee)

The LibDem funding by a company developing puberty blockers doesn’t seem to me a reason never to vote LibDem. I’m viewed as a terf, so I’m not dismissing the concerns.

Tory MP Sir Roger Gale said Mr Johnson was on "last orders".
"One more strike and he's out," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, adding that the by-election "has to be seen as a referendum on the prime minister's performance".
Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden said voters were "fed up and wanted to send us a clear message", but told BBC Breakfast that Mr Johnson was succeeding on "the big calls" he had to make. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-59693102

Do these people live in cloud cuckoo land? Succeeding in ‘the big calls’, indeed! Loosing a seat they’ve held for 200 years. It’s a very long time. When are the more moderate Tories going to get a grip as even they could be an improvement.

Excellent news. Wait for the Tories to say it’s a mid term blip!

Love this Hugh Grant paraphrasing Johnson’s idol?

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Helen Morgan's in!

We voted in yesterday’s by-election and Helen Morgan was canvassing right up until the end.
We are happy with the result.It is the first time Conservatives haven’t been elected in this constituency since 1832 and the seventh largest swing in by-election history.
Even though everybody we have spoken to over the last few weeks locally said they wanted the Conservatives out I don’t think any of us thought it would actually happen as the Conservatives have such a strong hold locally.

The right result. Good.

This is the beginning of the end for Johnson.

I would really prefer to see it as the beginning of the end of the wicked Tories.

This is the beginning of the end for Johnson.
