Three by-elections and a win each for the three main parties. Labour won with the biggest electoral swing in their history in Selby and Ainsty, the Lib Dems won a huge majority in Somerton and Frome and the Conservatives just about held their seat in Uxbridge.

On the surface, the set of results are better than what the Tories had anticipated. But, better than terrible can still be pretty bad.
