Not awake at 415am? Shame as you missed Sarah’s victory speech! If you want to watch it you can thanks to the BBC.

Paul Palmer of the Evening Standard, who was having terrible trouble with his laptop when trying to submit his story, writes about the Brent East result. He focuses on Yasmin loosing rather than Sarah winning.

More later, when google news advises me of it!

I’ve posted over at Brent East Campaigning about yesterday, the election count and the result - take a peek.

Looks like the BELDs need to get their website updated… no mention yet of Sarahs HOLD of Brent East.

From the Lib Dem website election news ticker:

04.12 GAIN - Sarah Teather wins the Brent East seat she won at a by-election (technically a gain measured from 2001) with a swing of 30% and a majority of 2,700

Congratulations Sarah!

Received a letter from Charles Kennedy this morning urging me to vote because ‘in certain places, the election is effectively a straight choice between having a Liberal Democrat or a Labour MP’.

The real alternative has been distilled to four key points:

• end student tuition and top-up fees
• prevent older people having to selltheir homes to pay for long term personal care
• provide 10,000 more police and cut their paperwork
• scrap the unfair council tax

A little something for everyone.
