Not Much Change in Council By Elections This Week
There were only two changes this week. The first was in Eltham North in Greenwich LB where the Conservatives gained the seat from Labour. There was a moderate increase in vote share for Lib Dems, but Labour were down and UKIP and the Greens crashed.

“What part of ‘Leave’ don’t you understand?”
When Nigel Farage asked this of Gina Miller on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday she was far too polite and politically unseasoned to respond in kind to this patronising and arrogant question. Well, Mr Farage, I would like to ask you what part of 'Advisory', 'Parliamentary Democracy' and 'Independent Judiciary', don't you understand. Moreover I think your question should be directed more at the people who you persuaded to vote Leave in the referendum.
