I can't stand the guy, but that's not the point.

The fact that a labour stronghold since 1975 has been lost to this idiot is the story.

The Bradford people couldn't vote for the Tories in such a labour area, they couldn't vote for the LibDems as they're in bed with the Tories otherwise I think they'd have done quite well.

More importantly they couldn't even vote for Labour whilst Ed Silliband is in charge, so they put their tick against the only other candidate they'd heard of.

This is a damning verdict of a Labour heartland on what they think of the current labour leadership, and I think it's great.

I don't think Ed will make it to the next election.
