Shame he never mentioned the fact that the reason for the bye-election was his party colleague screwed the taxpayer.  |
If it's about % and stats then it's clear how Barnsley judge this government since the election 9 months ago... and you can take into account the standing Labour MP was a tealeaf:
Vote %
Labour 2010
47% 2011 60.8% + 13.5%
Tory 2010
17.3% 2011 8.3% -
9.0
Lib-Dems 2010
17.4% 2011 4.3% -
13.1
Safe Labour seat so no surprise it was an easy win..but the Lib-Dems have dived by a massive amount
