@Bodmassisback @sundersays Under their old name of the Brexit Party they got 8.2% in 2019, so the by-election performance is a small drop in vote share. -1.8% if you want it to one decimal place.

@t0nyyates Could I possibly request two?

@anthonyjwells @forwardnotback @politicalhackuk @patrickkmaguire Aren't all the amendments today 'add at the end' amendments?

[Peter Barnes @barnespa]

@forwardnotback @politicalhackuk @patrickkmaguire Are you sure? In 2016 it looks to me as though the motion was amended and then there was a vote on a further amendment. https://t.co/gfi8w0lGdZ

First time Labour have made two by-election gains on the same day since 1962.

@caprosser I believe the correct number is 567. On the night 576 was entered into the BBC election results system but this was one a several errors, most of them very small, subsequently identified by @StephenDFisher.

@callummay Those figures aren't about GDP growth are they?

[Peter Barnes @barnespa]

@ElectionMapsUK I think it's 355 Conservatives and 15 independents.

@nmdacosta @commonslibrary Aren't those benefits on the list of ones where there's no statutory requirement for uprating?

Is Wakefield swing enough for a Labour Commons majority? https://t.co/DbqEcjgpoX via @BBCNews

[Peter Barnes @barnespa]

If the Wakefield by-election share changes were replicated across the country, Labour would be one seat short of an overall majority.

Including the prime minister, the Cabinet Office now has thirteen ministers. Nine of them are either in the cabinet or attend cabinet. Is that a record for a single department?

@rhodri_jones Matt Warman (Boston & Skegness), Rebecca Harris (Castle Point) and John Hayes (South Holland & The Deepings).

[Peter Barnes @barnespa]

Just a bit of fun, as the great Peter Snow would say, but if the by-election swing was repeated across the country the Conservatives would be left with 3 seats.
