Goldsmith going down?

23k majority , and no ukip to split vote

would be a big result for lib dems, but they will
spin it as a win anyway !

lets hope so

Liberal Democrats 1-50

Labour on the ground in Richmond Park are estimating a Lib Dem gain, majority in excess of two thousand.

Oh god it's not poll based is it

Just over half of Richmond Park's eligible voters have turned out to vote in the area's by-election.

There were 41,367 votes cast - or 53.6% of the electorate.

The Lib Dems have claimed victory in the by-election sparked by Zac Goldsmith’s resignation over Heathrow Airport expansion.

Voters in the south-west London constituency of Richmond Park delivered a Brexit backlash against Theresa May, overturning a massive 23,000 Tory majority.

Labour got just over 1,000 votes.

Yet - The Labour candidate is making an after election speech, on the platform, of massive proportions - going on and on and on about Brexit being wrong ...

So much so that even the BBC turned him off!

Just goes to show what insular thinking, self-important, self-serving, tunnel vision tawts all politicians actually are.

this has nothing to do with brexit so please sip it guys

Another political 'analyst' (on SkyNews) now trying to spin the Lib-Dem victory as a , "Remain protest against Brexit."

Have these tawts ever worked in the real, outside, world? -
  - or are they all academic ****s, straight out of Uni and into career politics, in some shape or form.

Said the people that voted for the lib dem candidate tonight and to remain were more sophisticated .....and rich

The lib dem candidate said she believed in democracy ....as long as it's in your favour

Suppose the Labour candidate thought he would 'get his monies worth' ...

Seeing that he Lost his Deposit.

He was to much even for the bbc they soon cut him off

Ta for the heads up BDJ  as i made a few bob.

Seventy per cent of voters here backed Remain. But Zac Goldsmith didn't. The Liberal Democrats, unapologetically pro-EU, ruthlessly exploited this.


Time for ''spin' to proclaim this as the Nations sentiment.

Ffs. Farron is going to be insufferable!

I never knew Zak got run over by his own car

There should be another bi-election to overturn the result of this bi-election imo.

Simple reminder to MP's that people vote for the party not the individual.

The Liberal Luvvies  looking after the Diverse Richmond Park Community ....


How many immigrants live in Richmond I wonder

answer = Fck all

Probably the highest per capita income of any constituency in Britain.

Ben Goldsmith @BJGoldsmith
In a Brexit tantrum Richmond has replaced its inspired MP with an utterly dreary Lib Dem (even by Lib Dem standards). Big big shame. Hey ho.

oh well hope they enjoy the new runway

On question time last night there was a person in the audience speaking up for many millions of us, of being sick of being called basically ignorant racists for voting leave, and referring to that total pr*ck Tim Farron the week before who just sat there insulting all Leave voters.

Sure enough, the first words of the LD who won last night on a remain ticket were something like "this is a blow against intolerance".

I've voted LD in the past but I'm so angry at them at the moment for this patronising leftish "safe space" twaddle and their efforts to overturn a referendum result, I can't see me doing it again.

zac had all the attributes to go far in politics but he would have given up constituency
to be mayor of london

what did he really expect from this publicity stunt?




tories about 1/9 for sleaford, ukip 9/1, others ......

I feel a bit sorry for him, I despised his awful father but Zac does seem a genuine chap.

BBC absolutely Delighted with result  , Hills have Just Installed Olney  10-1 fav  for the grand national

People mentioning a defeat for the Tories ,he was not a tory ,He said he would resign over  heathrow expansion and he did ,a man of his word .The olney womans husband worked for a consultancy team to deliver terminal 5
Enjoy your windows rattling you mugs .
How this can be spun as a defeat for the Gov or a deafet for brexit when the vote in Richmond upon Thames: REMAIN 75,396 LEAVE 33,410 is staggering ,the media know no shame and going on the figures the perceived  turnaround is actually not that great .
All in all a horrible spin being put on here ,they are getting desperate ,they know the game is up

tories and ukip backed zac...

its a remain area, and they voted for remain candidate

no big deal in the scheme of things

tory majority in hoc reduced down to 10



tories delighted at result ?

Spin glorious Spin.

If this by-election was fought,as is now generally agreed on Brexit issues,the Brexit feelings are growing stronger,and the remain weaker,

Referendum Remain 38.59% ''lead''
By-election Remain 2.83% ''lead'' a 35.76% drop in remain.

But this is just Spin glorious Spin.

New MP taken off airwaves mid-interview by PR man. Cringeworthy.

http://talkradio.co.uk/news/new-richmond-park-mp-sarah-olney-dragged-air-pr-...

if there was an election tomorrow brexit would be the single
major issue and brexit candidates would dominate

this was not a brexit area, and voted accordingly,
with influence of no tory nor ukip standing, but standing mp
who triggered by election on matter of principle

talksport cringeworthy

have those two words ever appeared together before

Sarah Olney's interview with Julia Hartley-Brewer was cut short by her press officer after a brutal grilling from our presenter.

The interview lasted just three minutes before the newly elected Richmond Park MP was dragged off air.

Julia began by mischievously asking "when's the second by-election," before suggesting that the Richmond Park voters didn't really know what they were voting for - echoing the claims made by Remainers seeking a re-run of the EU referendum.

Our presenter also pointed out that Olney's margin of victory was similar to that achieved by the Leave campaign in June.

Olney insisted she and her fellow Lib Dems accept the result of the EU referendum and merely want a further vote on the terms of Brexit - prompting scorn from Julia.

The interview ended with Olney falling silent, before her press officer ended the call.

she's one ugly bitch

ooohhh Burton your a beast when you get angry

Never knew Dawn Harper from embarrassing bodies was running for the lib dems

Hartley-Brewer-Chebs, and indeed Olney, failed to point out the result of the by-election is legal and binding whereas the result of the referendum is not.

no anx I just have much higher standards than you
