Defiant, confident, socialist. But will it butter any parsnips with former Lab voters in marginal Tory seats? http://huff.to/2ds2VC9

Huge swing to Lib Dems from Tories (42%) in the Stow district council ward means they win the vote.

Only 15 minutes down the road from Witney and strong remain area.

Any value about the LDs causing a huge shock and winning Cameron's seat?

Councils in this part of the world are split into local, district, parish, county etc. There are so many cross overs that no one is sure who does what and normally just the hardiest voters bother. Witney is a vibrant town and doing very well. My office is there and its about as Tory as you can get. Can't see it at all tbh.

Do you think Larry Sanders will get bonus votes because of his brother (and becoming a minor celebrity himself)? I assume he definitely would have if Bernie had still been in with a chance of becoming President. Do you think he'll still get some?

Suspect the people of Sunderland weren't the ones making the big contributions to the EU either.  That would be the people in London, who voted to remain. 

Can't see how we can compensate Nissan for any additional tarriffs/costs imposed by Europe.  Surely, we then have to compensate all exporters.  We are already compensating farmers/universities for any grants lost.  The public purse os bottomless?

Did you notice in amongst the outrage that we will be paying £400,000 a year to some rich bloke to breed horses, that we will be paying £3m to a Scottish farmer to not farm.  It was pretty interesting.  He buys land, rents it out/sells it o  and keeps all the EU subsidy for the land that isn't used.  I am no expert, but thar is how I understood his legitimate business model.  Guess it is hard to write laws that mean we compensate all farmers other than this one.
