  1. The labour candidate is not helped by his expenses record either…. Swansea has a lot of public sector workers and we need someone who will stand up for us.

  2. LIB DEM Gain by 650

  3. LD GAIN

  4. LD majority 250

  5. Ladbrokes think this will be a LD gain.

  6. Labour majority – 250.

  7. sneaky lib gain

  8. LD GAIN

  9. Good luck everybody…

    … except the BNP.. … you suck!

  10. big sigh of relief for Geraint Davies. He’s survived & now will enjoy first-time incumbency next time around, if he does a good job. He got the benefit of it in 2001 in Croydon Central, too.
