The real loser inthe by-elections is the British public.

People were asked to choose between a party that has lied to them for years, a party that refuses to tell them what their policies are, a party led by a bloke who is currently missing and a party that is promising to do a load of stuff that the civil service and left wing media will absolutely hammer them for.


And what did most people do?

They stayed at home.

The turnout in Kingswood was 37.1 per cent. Sixty three percent of people decided that they would sit on their hands at home instead.

The turnout in 2019 was 71.5 per cent.

In 2019 Labour actually got 5,000 more votes than they did last night. And lost the seat. This isn't Tony Blair in 1997.

The turnout in Wellingborough was 38 per cent.

So sixty two percent of people decided they'd rather walk their dog and watch Netflix than exercise their democratic rights. The turnout in 2019 was 64%.

There is nowhere near enough pressure on Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey. Where is Ed? Has anyone seen him?

If you've seen Ed Davey can you call the missing persons hotline. He was last seen running away from a Post Office.

Ed, whatever you've done, just come home. People love you. Well, I mean, not the voters, obviously.

Last night the Liberal Democrats lost their deposit in both seats. They got 861 votes in Kingswood. For a bit of context, Nick the Flying Brick of the Monster Raving Looney Party got 217 votes in the Wellingborough seat.

His manifesto included reducing hospital waiting times by typing them out in a smaller font, and replacing Downing Street with a hair salon called Government Cutz.

Labour lost 5,000 votes in Kingswood and gained around 100 votes in Wellingborough. Asking people to go out and vote for you without doing them the common courtesy of telling them what it is they're voting for is rude, pathetic and weak. And the plan that 'well people are so sick of how awful the Tories have been' only works if you aren't awful as well. Which Labour have been recently.
