Next weeks by-election in Vassall ward in LB Lambeth will be the 73rd and last since the 2010 London Borough elections. Only 8 saw gains.
Clearly people don't change their minds readilly. But when they do, they can move mountains.

But I doubt if it will happen again this time even though the LDs seem to think it could.
