Hot on the heels of getting a second Cllr Dean Walton in the Greens after a defection in Suffolk, we have just taken a seat off the Tories in a council by-election tonight.
Congratulations to Rachel Eburne who was elected elected to join Andrew Stringer and John Matthissen on Mid Suffolk District Council.
For the curious minded here are the results. Astonishing collapse of the Lib Dem vote there, but well done to Labour who managed to stick it to UKIP at the last hurdle by a grand total of seven votes.

Excellent news.
I now have a new election strategy too. Need to change my name to Dean Walton.
Wow, what was the secret there? 16% without Labour in the mix to 61% against them too.
Immense, immense. We're on our way!
Gulp!
