The perfect storm for the Labour party. Nice one Jezza.
UKIP vote collapsed in Copeland.
The PM will enjoy her breakfast croissant this morning.

You know Labour are desperate when the best Corbyn can do is drag up an ancient video, and I mean ancient of Paul Nuttal talking about the NHS on his twitter feed to try and win votes. Bad turnout, bad results for Labour, nothing will change. I think people are bored.

UKIP have already taken the biggest prize, we voted to Leave the EU. I think for some people UKIP have done their job and can't see the point of voting for anyone else now.
Normally these By -Election threads are polluted with comments from Lord Bracknell, I hope he's ok?

Well I got the Tory share of the vote spot on in both, should have stuck with my original prediction of Labour in Stoke.
Can not be underplayed how much of a big F'ing deal last night was in terms of results. Labour holding on in Stoke (STOKE) which is the parties equivalent of Henley-on-Thames against a 25 year old Conservative who didn't try until the last week of the campaign and against UKIP which is clearly a circus can not be classed as a success.
For The Conservatives to win in Copeland is absolutely amazing, for Labour to lose a seat they have held since the 1930's after 7 years of opposition is a disaster for them.
UKIP aren't fit to run a bath, they are finished as are Labour under Corbyn, read this morning that a result from Copeland replicated across the Country would mean another 140 Conservative seats.
The Prime Minister will be very, very happy this morning

The best sorry of not a great night. Hopefully the the start of the consignment of the kippers to the political scrap heap.

But if UKIP voters are horrible right wingers, doesn't that mean they will drift back to the Tories? Not a pleasing prospect for Labour...
Their job is done.

The only surprise is that 5233 people decided to vote for Nutall despite his campaign which lurched from one lie to another.
However there doesn't seem to be anyone more blind than a UKIP voter.

The lesser of two evils, unfortunately. On a side note, Nuttal - 'this was what, #72 on our hit list?' Does anyone believe this proven and serial liar?

How on earth can you accuse others when you won't even answer a simple question from me ? You're a total hypocrite.

Many of them are also 'horrible' ex labour voters. I wonder if the lefties here mind their party receiving votes from people who are ex UKIP as well?

Wales and Scotland Swinging to Nationalist away from Labour. I think politics has become exciting again.

Over 4million walking around blind. The blind ones were those that took no notice.
What on earth does that mean?
