Silly to talk about Labour "losing votes" in a by-election, particularly in December - turnout is much lower.
@LinguaFrancis @stephenkb unlikely, given that the Labour candidate wasn't a Corbyn supporter and didn't use Corbyn on his campaign leaflets

@JuliaHB1@stephenkb Then what could it be? -
@LinguaFrancis@stephenkb people in a safe labour seat vote labour shock? -
@JuliaHB1@stephenkb but you said turnout was on the high side. TBH I assumed that you were going to go down the suspicious postal vote line -
@LinguaFrancis turnout on the high side for a by-election. -
@JuliaHB1@LinguaFrancis Not positive then you chatterers are always banging on about low turnouts bad for democracy -
@MichaelGarstang@LinguaFrancis I didn't say it was bad thing, just strange that lower than average in May, higher than av for by election -
@JuliaHB1@MichaelGarstang Maybe people felt uninspired in May. The new MP's a local lad and ran a good campaign. - End of conversation
