Yesterday I went to lend a hand to colleagues in South East Cambridgeshire in a local by-election.  Lib Dem Frances Amrani gained a  seat off the Tories in Teversham, a ward which abuts Cambridge.

It seems that in South Cambridgeshire, the Tories are doing their best at emulating their colleagues in Forest Heath in the complacency stakes.  Poor financial management and a rush to get rid of their housing stock against local residents’ wishes have not gone down well.  Once again residents have shown that they value their vote and will not just vote for anyone with a blue rosette in rural East Anglia.
