Which way will Wakefield and Tiverton & Honiton go?

Brief reminder: In Wakefield, Tory Khan stepped down after being convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.

In Tiverton & Honiton, Parish stepped down after admitting watching porn on his phone in the Commons. Hilariously, he then claimed he'd been looking for tractors but ended up on porn by mistake. As you do.

Tory Khan what a name such dedication to the party.

Maybe Parish just wanted to plough his fields how was he to know?

Wakefield is up in the air for me I do not know it’ll be close is my prediction

Tiverton and Honiton will likely stay Con its one of their safe seats

If Tiverton goes yellow that'd be the real shocker for the Tories.

Early noises:

Wakefield is likely going to Labour.

Tiverton might go down to the wire. (And that place has traditionally been as safe as can be for the Tories.)

The Tories lost em both.

In Wakefield, Labor won by about 5000 votes.

In Tiverton & Honiton, Lib dems won by about 6000. (That's an enormous win. Previously, the Tory majority there was 24,000.)

Looks like voters are v sick of Johnson....

Two more nails in the slobs coffin, plus another MP resignation.

The power of voting is well and truly alive, people are seeing through the lies bounded by the right and their supporters that voters don’t make a difference. Democracy prevails!

Wheels came off long time ago - telling lies is just a day to day occurrence and it’s getting worse. They’ll just state any figures as fact with no or little evidence to substantiate

I totally respect this post. Been saying on these forums for ages now that the Johnson led Government are not really Tories. It needs more Tory voters to wake up to this fact. The party they support has been taken over by a far right cabal that used Brexit and the threat of UKIP as a Trojan Horse. The Government (the executive) are a bunch of opportunistic disaster capitalist thieves who have used a (inter)national crisis to steal YOUR money in broad daylight.

The more traditional Conservative voters who wake up to this and send them a message the better. Over 70% of Tory backbenchers tried. The Commander in Slob is still there eroding our democracy and destroying the reputation of the UK on the World stage.

The result in Tiverton will make some dithering Tory MPs look at their own positions in the next GE..

Yes people will trot out the old mid term blues excuse but a 30% swing spells trouble ahead for the Tories under Boris..

Boris just needs to ignore the doubters and haters , just turn up the power and steer the ship threw stormy waters .

He still has a 75 seat majority. A few hiccups on the way will not destroy things

Oh and I just spotted your pun...

“Bye election”

Very good. Subtle but good

Hopefully we soon get the “Bye Bye election” but that will no doubt follow some cash injection into the next area subject to a “Buy election”!

the Chairman of the 1922 Committee has said this morning that they are looking to change the rules about the vote of confidence in the PM.

You can be sure of two things:

1) Johnson, Like May before him, will not survive.

2) The poster above will delete his profile, come out with a new one that will be totally supportive of the new Conservative Leader and dismissive of Johnson. As happened when May was booted.

I said weeks ago, that Conservative MPs had gone too early. The only thing saving BJ, is a lack of a natural successor.

What voters have finally done is smartened up and voted tactically… in Tiverton, what was the point of voting labour… so if you want to both send a message and defeat the Tory.. then you voted Lib Dem

I wish there was almost an implicit agreement between opposition parties to stand aside in two party races… but they will never do it at national levels… saying that I would not discourage it at local levels if everyone agreed

I'm in agreement with the Russian bot. People who vote for Johnson, by and large don't give a shit about how he treats British people, and are completely apathetic. We are no closer to being rid of them. It's just another false hope.

Exactly that, it seems by the numbers labour didnt try in Tiverton (it looks like they even lost their deposit) and the libs didnt try in Wakefield its all well and good for them to have some unwritten pact in by elections but that wont happen in a GE.

Many/most people are quite tribalist (just look on here for example) and follow their tribe rather than actually lifting up the covers on the proposed policies and actually understanding the real impact on them and their loved ones. Quite why anyone earning less than six figures votes Tory will be one of life’s mysteries.

The more traditional Conservative voters who wake up to this and send them a message the better. Over 70% of Tory backbenchers tried. The Commander in Slob is still there eroding our democracy and destroying the reputation of the UK on the World stage.

Apart from in Ukraine "

Yes, it's extraordinary that the man who accepts money from russian oligarchs and places family members of KGB agents into the House of Lords, is so eager to insert himself into the planning of the Ukraine president. It would obviously be a scurrilous lie to suggest that he might come back from these meetings and accidentally give away classified information while drinking with his buddies from Moscow...

"Its the best news to wake up to this morning, voted Tory but so glad they have lost these two elections. Just have no time for Boris Johnson and all of his cabinet. Just a total waste of time.

I totally respect this post. Been saying on these forums for ages now that the Johnson led Government are not really Tories. It needs more Tory voters to wake up to this fact.

I'm not suggesting that he's knowingly working against Ukraine. However it is fact that his political career and lifestyle has been supported by a number of people that do have close russian connections, without whose aid he undoubtedly would never have reached his current position.

I do not believe in any way that Johnson talks to the Kremlin via a secret radio, giving information and receiving orders. But I'm certain that he has zero regard for the concepts of state secrets, has no concern for the security of the country, and is more than eager to blab about anything that makes himself seem more important when he is partying with his "friends".

He doesn't block investigation of Russian connections because he is afraid of being discovered as a "spy", he does it for the petty reason of not wanting to be revealed as a liar and parasite. He doesn't fill his cabinet with fifth columnists reporting to Putin with the intention of turning the UK into a soviet satellite, instead he fills it with the incompetent and arselicking in order to look good by comparison.

If Johnson's rise to his current position was not backed by Russia, and is not shored up by continuing interference, then Putin must be unable to believe the sheer luck of a major NATO nation unaidedly putting the very worst person in charge of itself.

It’s intersting how sanctions were delayed for so many of London’s resident oligarchs enabling them to move cash and assets into other countries including yachts.

One super yacht has been caught in Gibraltar and is now about to be auctioned at highest bid no reserve to pay JP Morgan’s loan back before it can be released. The rumour is that a company owned by the original owner will buy it back at a discount. Everyone else will be too nervous in case he’s a mate of Putin.

Why did we give them so long? Do we warn drug importers weeks in advance that we are seizing their drugs? Administration issues?

The no confidence vote was tactical from Johnson accolites as they pretty much knew they were safe if it was held now he would be gone and they knew it clever manouvering by his supporters as he cant be touched for a year without changing the rules

"However it is not bye election results that matter. The only result of relevance is that in a general election where every voter has to think carefully about the impact of their vote

Boris just needs to ignore the doubters and haters , just turn up the power and steer the ship threw stormy waters .

He still has a 75 seat majority. A few hiccups on the way will not destroy things

I'm in agreement with the Russian bot. People who vote for Johnson, by and large don't give a shit about how he treats British people, and are completely apathetic. We are no closer to being rid of them. It's just another false hope."

Are you not heartened by this result? It seems I am not alone in not voting Tory while Boris is in charge. I know it's just a by election and may change but I think the Tory voters have sent a warning to Boris that they are happy to either not vote or switch to the lib dems.

The same thing has happened plenty of times, horrendous Tory scandal followed by a by-election defeat for them. People start to get hopeful that we might finally get some positive change, but at the next election people go back to the same old same old.

Plus I'm skeptical that A, there are better senior Tories to take over should Boris F Off, or B, that Labour would bring about much positive change should they bel elected. I assume they'd be less self servicing, and slightly less pandering to big corporations. But thats such a low fucking bar IMHO.

While the system allows the parties to be funded through donations, as they are now, I can't see any improvement TBH.

Well your definitely not a glass half full kind of guy. I think you should socialise with BJ supporters. They will show you how every cloud has a silver lining.

Ha no thanks. Hanging out with people who support Boris sounds like the worst night out ever.
