The media are understandably and rightly focusing on last night's parliamentary by-election result in Oldham East & Saddleworth, where Labour's Debbie Abrahams retained the seat with a comfortable victory. However, Labour was also victorious in another by-election last night, in which victory was realised after Labour came from fifth place to win in a stunning result.
In a by-election to fill a vacancy on Cornwall Council, Labour’s Jude Robinson became the first and only Labour councillor on the 123 member authority. The swing from Conservative to Labour – close to 16% - propelled Jude from a fifth place in 2009 to the party’s newest elected local councillor.
Having watched this contest for some time, it is apparent that in Jude the party, and now the people of Camborne, have a hard working and dedicated advocate and campaigner. Her website is testimony to this.
The full result is available here on the Cornwall council website.
