Well I'm glad that Wakefield went back to Labour, but, let's face it, the scale of the victory was underwhelming. The fact that there was a less-than 40% turnout and a hardly resounding majority speaks volumes about disillusionment with the disreputable Boris Bunter but is decidedly not a ringing endorsement of Starmer. According to the Today programme, ten by-elections during the coalition recorded bigger swings to Labour than this one, yet Miliband still lost next time out. Labour is in big trouble and Johnson must be smirking over his coffee this morning.
