Well the BBC master plan of having red studios worked and unsurprisingly Labour won the by-election.

Normal rubbish from all the idiots chasing the unlimited expenses account.

Interesting bits

The lib dems only just beat the UKIP

and the turn out of under 29% showing a big we really don't give a fk from the public

I think we do give a f**k, I just think it's that there is nothing to choose from the parties (save for UKIP)so most people don't see the point in voting, they are all the same s**e just painted a different colour.

They really need to have a minimum turn-out to make a vote valid. 29% is a joke.

What would happen to labour if Cameron decided to reopen a few de-commissioned coal mines in key labour constituencies, thus expunging the spectre of Thatcher?
Then again, would those constituencies welcome it – being, I presume, raised on benefits all of their lives (for some..). I guess Labour and the BBC would then accuse the Tories of promoting slave labour….. On second thoughts, forget it – it wouldn’t work……
The only promises these voters care about is having their free money secured.....

Have you ever been to Feltham?

The result is no surprise.

54% of 29% - vindication of Milibland's leadership.

Heaven help us.

The winning candidate described her victory as a "wake-up call" for the government.

"This result shows that this Tory-led government is totally out of touch," she said.

She said the result was a "vote of confidence in the way Labour is changing, listening harder, winning back the trust of the people we seek to serve".
Only a Labour apparatchik would believe those words

My thoughts too, I'd like to see the demographics as well. The figures look a bit unplausible!

If you want a rigger for a neighbour vote Labour!

Well parts of Feltham & Heston can only be described as extremely Asian, and we all know which demograhpic just loves vote-rigging.

Unplausable?

Nothing unplausable about it

Just no bugger turned up

So while it looks like a glorious victory with a greater majority the relaity is 8500 less people voted labour

While 10,000 less voted tory

The only party that had an increase amount of votes was the UKIP from 991 to 1276

BBC showing 10% swing to liarbour?

Oh und.."Ms Malhotra grew up in Feltham, and went to school in Heston. She was an adviser to Harriet Harman during her stint as Leader of the Opposition in 2010."

Well another useless spoon fed candidate wins a pathetically polled election, I BET they are so proud.....

They never lost their trust. They lost the trust of the people they weren't seeking to serve.

Feltham is perfect labour territory (higher than average benefit claimants etc etc). Its about as representative of the average UK constituency as Richmond in Yorkshire...
Nobody else would get a look in!

And knowing Feltham and what it's population is like, it's no surprise that there was such a poor turnout either.
