An easy win bet I reckon

• By-elections: Labour takes Corby from Conservatives
• Andy Sawford (Lab) 17,267 (48.41%, +9.71%)
• Christine Emmett (C) 9,476 (26.57%, -15.63%)
• Margot Parker (UKIP) 5,108 (14.32%)
• Jill Hope (Bottom wipers) 1,770 (4.96%, -9.48%)

Well both the Tories and their bottom wipers (even more so) got what they deserved, I haven't had chance to look at the police commissioner results yet.

So both the governing parties managed the astounding feat of losing their deposit in this round of by-elections

Gov't 'lacks skills and resources' to secure RBS and Lloyds sales

The UK may never recoup the £66 billion poured into the rescue of Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds.

You can bet your arse they will say...Sorry ermmm, moving on.

The Banks are more powerful than any political party as they got balls to rip us off and stick two fingers up at us.

Now there's a surprise:

PCC elections: Watchdog to probe record low turnout

A review is to be carried out into how the police and crime commissioners (PCC) elections were conducted.
The Electoral Commission's chairwoman Jenny Watson said: "We will talk to voters, candidates and returning officers to understand what worked and what didn't."
Fewer than 15% of voters turned out in the 41 English and Welsh police areas electing a PCC, a peacetime low.

Louise Mensch: Tory defeat in Corby 'won't mean anything' to PM

The former Conservative MP for Corby, Louise Mensch, has insisted Labour's by-election victory "is not going to mean anything" for the PM's leadership.
Mrs Mensch said she "took the blame" for the Conservative loss, after deciding in August to leave her seat and move to New York with her family.
