High Peak Liberal DemocratsA bumper set of fourteen council by-elections this week. None of the seats up are Lib Dem held. Rather, seven are Conservative, four Labour, one is an increasingly rare Ukip seat, one SNP seat and one is a residents group vacancy.
After last week's disappointing dip this time there are eleven Liberal Democrat candidates (79%). That's up four on the last time all these wards were contested.
Even better, the results have brought three Liberal Democrat gains from the Conservatives, all in southern England and extending what is starting to look like a significant pattern. Definitely something to watch for in May's big round of local elections.
