All paled into insignificance by the thrashing in Norwich.

Ramsay should be Ramsey, and it's Dormanstown, not Sormanstown.

The stats you have on the swanspool result are not accurate. As all parties stood in June 2009 apart from the Greens.
June 2009 results were
Con Bell, Paul Anthony 958 41.2%
Lab Cass, Pat 543 23.3%
Lib Dem White, Julie Dorothy 282 12.1%
BNP Robinson, David Peter 274 11.8%
Green Hornett, Jonathan Terence 270 11.6%
This by elections result (July 2009) was
con 548 46.0%
lib 162 13.6%
lab Ann Reynolds361 30.3%
BNP 120 10.1%
Labour 7 points up and the BNP 2 points down :-)
This was achieved through a well co-ordinated anti-bnp campaign and activists from out of town like myself supporting a well run traditional by election campaign by labour.
Beyond the stats ... just really proud to have been part of it ... this is the way to re-build the Labour Party during or after Norwich
