Congratulations to Labour Candidate Debbie Abrahams on her comfortable victory in the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election. Given the background to the by-election to increase the Labour majority from 103 at the general election to over 3,500 was a very good result.
While the Lib Dems' share of the vote might have held up it is clear that was because many Tory voters switched to them to try to defeat Labour. It is also clear that many people who voted Lib Dem at the general election switched to Labour.
I suspect that the Lib Dems will suffer badly at May's Scottish Parliament election for their decision to go into coalition with the Tories.
