The Conservative party are victorious in Crewe! Amazingly, it is the party's first by-election gain since 1982. The BBC are reporting that Edward Timpson managed a 15,000 vote turnaround, overcoming a 7,000 vote Labour majority to win by 7,860.
What a punishing blow for Gordon Brown this is -- yet another barrow-full of salt into an already gaping wound. There's no mistaking it now, the political momentum in England is now firmly with the Conservatives -- Brown must be kicking himself for not having that early election!
