Glasgow by-election - good for Labour

One swallow does not make a summer, but there's no doubt that the Glasgow by-election result this week was a good result for Labour, albeit on a low turnout, a poor result for the Conservatives and a very poor result for the Lib Dem candidate who managed to get a measly 474 votes - fewer than many candidates get in local council elections. Here's hoping we can maintain the momentum.

By the way, Glasgow is a fantastic city - visit if you get the chance. I was there for 3 days in February last year on a case at the Glasgow Employment Tribunal, and managed to catch The Cult at the Glasgow Academy on the last night. Some people struggle with the Glasgow accent but being a Geordie, it makes perfect sense to me.
