Can they really lose another 11000 majority?

Hopefully...

Anything less than a 22% swing as in the last by-election will be seen as a great victory by the nu-liebor spin doctors

Long live Brown

Much as I enjoy seeing the miserable larcenous git humiliated I really do hope he clings onto the reigns.
No matter how much more hopeless everybody else in Labour is, there is always the danger of some new idiot being given the 'benefit of the doubt'

Same could be said of David Cameron, no?

Maybe, but this particular lot have proven that they are spectacularly bad.
Cameron and his lot we can only suspect will be as bad as the last Tory lot.
A subtle, but I believe important, distinction.

Even if Labour and Tory means, in effect, the same mindset in Office, it's still, surely, of benefit that the crowd in-charge are booted out periodically, to at least put an end to the "We're in forever, and couldn't give a tuppenny f--k about the proles." attitiude?

That's the attitude of any party with a parliamentary majority of 30+ though, they're unassailabe for 4-5 years with our system of government.
