By election day

Day 10: Little Waldingfield is a delight. A beautiful village close to Sudbury. The positive welcome continues but here immigration is a big issue but for some with a real anti European point of view. I wonder about the illogicality of one comment that they want no migrants here but they wish they could move to ....

Evening brings the Count for 2 by elections. We win in Great Cornard South with 41%, Cons 37% and Labour 22%. A Lib Dem gain from Con. Colin Wright will be an excellent councillor.
In Sudbury East, we lose to Independent Nicky Dixon (who will be excellent) but we get 47% which is a great performance by Oliver Forder.
That is 3 out of 4 wins in by elecctions in a month. The Tories are losing their grip.
