23rd Feb, and already the liquidity suggests this is a market to keep tabs on

Fascinated by how this will turn out. It's been a Labour seat since 1950, but Stoke had the highest Leave % vote of any city in the referendum.

UKIP leader Paul Nuttell is standing, so should make this a decent trading event

All the more so given the Supreme Court Brexit Ruling, that legislation and a vote is required to trigger article 50.

The Labour Party say they won't frustrate it , but will be proposing amendments, which might be seen by the voters of Stoke as frustrating their wishes to leave the EU.

Not sure Mr Nuttell is the man to inspire a UKIP win tho !!!


But like you say fascinating By Election

If UKIP take Stoke then Mr Corbyn will more than likely be gone too. :)

As expected, big move on UKIP - backed from 2.60 to 2.16 today

A Scouse accent anywhere outside Liverpool?

That'll go down like a pork chop at a Jewish wedding.

If you like Stewart Lee, watch this and if you don't, don't. A little piece about Paul Nutalls and Liverpool.

Stewart Lee fan here. Very good, admittedly polarising in his views, 52% of people probably don't like him.. :mrgreen: The longer version of that video is better, very smart routine. Second half of this -
