I dispute the fact that 'Hyndburn is not a natural Tory seat'.
The country, and this area, have changed from the old rule of manufacturing areas being Labour, and leafy suburbs being true blue. Afterall for most of the Thatcher years this constituency had a Conservative M.P.
I'm genuienly suprised that locally Labour didn't take more of a bashing in Hyndburn, which it appears to have done in the rest of the country. The loss of one seat is neither here nor there.

There's been huge boundary changes since the Thatcher era. No need to save face when Conservatives are INCREASING the majority on the council that they have already held for years.
I do like your posts though Rindi, I never fail to literally laugh out loud, to the wonder of anybody near me, whenever you write your non-partisan line
