        Good result, but pathetic turnout. Shows how much politicians are disrespected by the general public. Sad.

        to be fair there's been a HUGE storm today - not ideal conditions for a by-election

        Similar storm in Copeland. Bigger turnout. More at stake. Stoke not bothered.

        @Conservatives Stoke-on-Trent had a chance to break free from Labour's working class shackles, and failed.

        Probably because Stoke is a working class area mate.
