Tim Farron and Brexit

In his article (18/1/17) Tim Farron uses recent parliamentary by elections to make his point. He may be right about what happened in pro remain Richmond Park; but he fails to draw the same conclusion from the Sleaford and North Hykeham by election a week later. The same tactics used there at least enabled the Lib Dems to leapfrog Labour but failed to dent the large pro Brexit vote achieved by the Tories and UKIP candidates? It will be interesting to see what tactics are employed in the upcoming Copeland and Stoke on Trent Central by elections, which would appear also to be in pro Brexit areas.
