    40 pt swing to Lib Dems in Sunderland

    Labour not doing too well.

    Liberal Democrats celebrate stunning council by-election wins in both North and South | The Independent

    and the Tories didn't do much better

    The party triumphed in Sandhill, in the Labour heartland of Sunderland, with a 41.5 point leap in its vote share. Labour support fell by nearly 30 points.

    And in Gade Valley, on Three Rivers Council in Hertfordshire, the Libs won by more than 400 votes from the Conservatives following a 24-point jump in support.

                  Interesting, and the 24 pt swing in Gade Valley ?

                  probably another lazy labour councillor.

                    Different topic. The fact I've shown you are talking about things you knew nothing about and then tried to change the topic just confirms my original point....
