The UKIP woman on with Andrew Neil tonight is an absolute gem for them.

Smart, articulate, charming and most importantly looks completely at ease sitting amongst government members and a boisterous BBC host. They need to get this woman and more like her in the media.

Indeed she is normally very good. I'm not tired yet so... (And no coffee either)

I'd say too charming and too soft in the face of a typically arrogant LabLidemCon alliance representation that seems to think it has an entitlement to govern and dictate terms.

UKIP candidate for the Peninsula Ward by election, Chris Irvine, has won that election:

UKIP: 2850
Conservative: 1965
Labour: 716
Greens: 314
Lib Dems: 60

Poor turnout, not sure on the percentage. Still awaiting the main by election results.

The newspapers will be filled with more photos of a smiling Nigel today.

One has to feel a bit sorry for the LibDems. Less than 1%. Yikes!

As predicted lead turned out to be less than the poll snapshots. The old fart here hasn't lost it yet. Just over 7% lead. All things considered possibly rather close in 2015GE.

Cons Kelly Tolhurst saying going to continue fight to 2015. Cons mad to let her do that surely. Awful candidate.

Labour's Naushabah on the other hand impressive throughout. They would do well to keep her in the loop for the future.

LD 0.87% Sorry but a joke. Less than 200 votes ahead of Loony.

According to R4Today, that's 11 lost deposits on the trot. Shockingly low support for a party of Government.

Wow. They have really paid for their moment in the sun. Not sure if there's any way back for them now.

I think it could be a long time before another mainstream party goes into a formal coalition in Westminster. If we have another hung parliament support will be limited to 'confidence and supply' only.

Such a shame that principled upstanding folk are so harshly treated by the electorate...

I think the "white van man tweet" although made by the (now ex) Labour candidate is symptomatic of the problem for Westminster as a whole - they really don't like or understand the ordinary people of this country.

Great result for UKIP - and Cameron threw everything but the kitchen sink at this one.
