Billy Bowden may well be the greatest umpire ever but Ed Balls is definitely the worst wicketkeeper ever to play at Lord’s. I was better than him!

Considering the general election result here Labour must be thankful that David Taylor didn’t die a few months earlier.

Swing since 1997:

Leicestershire NW 20.0%
Loughborough 8.0%
Charnwood 8.3%

As Mike Smithson on PoliticalBetting had thought, it was the smallish towns in the Midlands where Labour did worst. Suburbs of big cities, like Gedling and Broxtowe, are in a different category. Ilkeston / Erewash is a town in its own right, not part of Nottingham. The same is true of Coalville and Ashby.
