Labour less popular than crook Illsley in Barnsley

A little reported fact from last night's election in Barnsley is that the Labour are even more unpopular than they were last May. Convicted fraudster Eric Illsley - currently serving a year at her maj's pleasure for stealing £14,000 of his constituents cash managed to pursuade 17,487 people to vote for him - even though it was widely known he was under investigation at the time.

On Thursday Labour's 'clean' replacement polled 14,724.

Who'd have thunk a known crook would be more popular than Miliband minor's supposedly unstoppable Labour juggernaut?

  1. Scrapping the barrel with this one, the turn out was much lower. And Labour's percentage of the vote was up by 13 points 47% to 60%, strangely enough your percentage went down by the same amount. Which reflects the swing indicated by national polling.
