Labour won their existing safe seat of Oldham West with a reduced majority, so does this mean that the new Jeremy Corbyn style is going to be a winner? He will be hoping so and spared no time in travelling up there congratulating the winning candidate. Strange how he wasn't here for the announcement, I suspect exit polls were not showing quite the same margin of win.
Anyway, I guess the lefties will be pleased with that result, and given the flurry of condemnation over those Labour MPS that voted for air strikes, could be that there will be a general swing to the left but it will take time.
And when are they going to start building more houses? We seem to have a constant increase in the population, coupled with a very modest rise in housing stock. You would think that market forces would be encouraging development to match the demand, but that does not appear to be happening. Prices to rise by 4-6% in 2016 according to the Halifax, (although looking into the future is not the easiest thing to do). Mind you, could be we have Labour councils building council homes soon.
