Runcorn. Reform MP fights with a poor out of work alcoholic who lost it all and went to prison. Turns out it's the previous Labour MP.

Looks like Gloucester live was... not entirely truthful about when results came in (I've double checked, and my maths was fine with their latest update + later additions)
Lib Dem - 27 - +11
Reform 11 - +11
Green 9 - +5
Conservative 6 - 20
Labour 1 - -3
Independent 1 - -1
at 14.31 they had us with 8 Greens, then announced 3 more greens; to a total of 9
Not Moog I have far larger corporate American overlords than that (Nasdaq 100 company), but the Tewkesbury site is about ~35 people at that's the biggest since I started 7 years ago.

Does voting in Reform after the MP punched a consituent mean the majority of constituents think he didn't punch them enough?
The John Prescott approach
In the Blair/Brown documentary on the BBC they definitely suggested they were going to publicly condemn him for it and then realised it would better for their PR if they didn't as punching a guy after getting egged was considered a "human response".

Let down by Tewkesbury West - who went Reform (ex-tory)
My opinion of Prescott improved after that tbh, but I didn't find his mere existence an abborence as a starting point.
Tewkesbury West voted reform....Green lost by 200 votes that sucks cause by split in Lib Dem, Green and independents who had over double the votes combined.
Labour, not grn
According to GlosLive of course, which means... MAY have been from Labour, not Grn
**** that's close 7 votes in it but thank god, glad I voted LD after toying up Green all day yesterday
County Council was Vernon Smith in 2021 who changed to Tewkesbury West this time around and jumped Tory to Reform
2021 Gloucestershire County Council election - Wikipedia
Our two Green are two town councillors
2023 Tewkesbury Borough Council election - Wikipedia
Will be easier once we move in to unitary authority is about 2 years time and two things are combined.
I now don't trust the result from the East either

This is what frustrates me about the left of the spectrum's inability to work together. Including labour in both of those the'left' votes totalled more than the 'right' but one ends up with Reform and one barely scrapes through
The new thing, is that there's 2 parties on the right.
Just as Green becomes a viable 3rd option on the "left"
It's always a purity test/fight, with Labour absolutely refusing to form any sort of coalition and preferring to act as a protest party if they can't get into government outright (and that only happens when they ape the right).
It's deeply annoying and, to me, also betrays the fundamental principles of the party to help the common or working population regardless of their political leanings.
P.s. I ******* hate Starmer, Reeves and Streeting with a burning passion. Just for full disclosure.

the three of them are more right wing than Rory Stewart. As someone who votes to the left what a PM we missed out on with him. I'm secretly praying that he and Alistair Campbell are setting up a new party to replace labour as a centre/centre left powerhouse
That one looks right definitely 9 votes in it.
I know it's not the full story but is definitely looks like basically narrative Labour punished on the left and Tories are dead.
He's still a (ex) tory, I can never trust one after the last 15 years
