Brent East - a result at last!

You know, I'm becoming convinced there's a need for a Representation of the People (announcement of by-election results) Act. I've been waiting for the result for a while, and Five Live keep teasing me with 'should have it in another ten minutes', then 'oh, another fifteen minutes'. I know it's not their fault, but it's annoying...at least when you're at the count you can see something happening.

And now, here it comes - I've not been able to type fast enough for them all, so only the main three parties:

Robert Evans (Labour) 7,040
Uma Fernandes (Conservative) 3,368
Sarah Teather (Lib Dem) 8,158

So, we win! Majority is 1118. I'd give a more cogent analysis and announcement of who's the proud owner of a Simply Red CD, but I really need to get to sleep now.
