Tories make bye-election progress in Swansea

Regardless of whatever future electoral pain may (or may not) be visited upon the tories as a result of their scorched earth approach to public spending, an LG bye-election result in Swansea Council saw them pinch a seat off the Lib Dems.

Following a 40% turnout, they took the Newton ward (Gower constituency) with 545 votes. Lib Dems recorded 299, Labour 187, Ind 108 and Plaid got 31 - according to numerous Twitters seen tonight.
