  1. I doubt it would actually happen, but if the swing in the Mid Bedfordshire By-Election was repeated across the UK Labour would have a 310 seat majority, the Lib Dems would be the main opposition, and the Tories would be left with twenty seats

  2. Just saw the news about the #ByElection in #MidBedfordshire - #Labour win from Tories! Very funny, should be such a safe Tory seat. Some good news in #politics for a change

  3. The people of #Tamworth and #MidBedfordshire should hold no fears whatsoever of an incoming @UKLabour govt.
    Nothing will change in either of your constituencies, or the manner in which the current, corrupt government runs the country.

  4. Yes, it's lovely to see the Tories getting their arses handed to them on a plate in #Tamworth and #MidBedfordshire, but let's not get too carried away. You can't easily extrapolate from by-elections with low turnouts to what might happen in a general election. No time for complacency.

  9. Look here, you ungrateful bastards our glorious leader is single handedly stopping violence in the Middle East, by having many photo ops there & this is how you treat him. It’s almost like you hate us tories now

  10. Labour has never won #MidBedfordshire before today.

    They only ever had #Tamworth during the Blair years.

    Two huge majorities from 2019 reduced to smithereens.

    Now, it is a by-election, and they tend to behave differently to a general election. But even a 5% smaller swing to Labour than this gives them a comfortable majority.

    If you're Rishi Sunak, do you accept your time in office will be short? Or how do you plot a comeback from these depths?

  11. Same story with the #MidBedfordshire #ByElection. #Tory vote split by far right #Reform

    🌹 Labour: 13,872
    🔵 Tories: 12,680
    🔶 Lib Dems: 9,420
    ➡️ Reform: 1,487
    🟢 Green: 732

  12. #byelection #midbedfordshire Good luck to everyone who isn't voting conservative today and good luck to all candidates except the conservatives.

    @frankpodmore

    Well I'm unsure these two seats are the same - a #poll mid-Sept in #midBedfordshire put #labour & #toriesOut neck & neck on 34% with #libDems trailing by 18%

    But what matters is turnout - if #labour feel more positive then I fancy them to win there....

    There is no poll I am aware of for #tamworth - but #labour won it in 1996 so it is winnable

    We will know one way or the other within 36 hours....

  14. “In both constituencies, the Tory candidates, when it has come to national media, appear to have taken the unusual approach of ticking the ‘no publicity’ box.”

  15. Q. will competition between #Labour & the #LibDems let the #Tories retain #MidBedfordshire, or will the ground-up strategy of #tacticalvoting kick in (provided people all take the same view on who to vote tactically for)...

    Of course, if the #Tories do retain Mid Bedfordshire, it may (may!!) be a wake up call for the opposition parties....

    And then, there's #Tamworth on the same day...

    plenty of scope for a miss-step when trying to #GTTO

    Looking forward to the 'analysis' at the weeknd!

  16. Mid-Bedfordshire by-election, interesting sounds from activists (not been myself, work is busy and health isn't ideal). Sounds like Tory campaign slowed a lot but Labour and Lib Dems still going gangbusters.

    From here most signs point yellow-ward (no "leaked" canvass returns, so not everything). But I've not been on the ground and everyone with any decent data has an agenda, so I can't claim to actually know. Maybe this will age badly?

    🚨Labour and Lib Dems in bitter battle over Mid Bedfordshire By-Election🚨

    The fierce byelection battle in #MidBedfordshire is poisoning relations between Labour and the Lib Dems, as disagreements over who's best placed to take Nadine Dorries’s seat threatens tactical voting strategies at #GE2024, & risks denting informal cooperation to remove the #Tory government, senior Labour figures have warned.

    Don't balls it up!

  18. The voters of #MidBedfordshire are to get a by-election at last. They have been treated with utter #contempt by #NadineDorries, she hasn't held a surgery 4 3.5 years. Your time has come voters, tactical voting to give the Tories a massive defeat. #ToryCorruption #ToryRecession
