Just out of interest, since apparently the Tories knew Labour were overspending, how many Tory M.P.s said "please don't build that Hospital in my constituency, we can't afford it",..... "please don't build us a library here, we cant afford it",.... "for heavens sake, please don't build a leisure centre / school / community centre in my area, the country can't afford it"?

None of them..that's how many.

But to get back to the sillyness of the topic,

Labours majority went up from 103 votes in May to more than 3,500 vote now. (a bigger swing than in the 1997 general election), whilst the combined coalition vote was almost halved.

Sounds like a victory to me.

Of course it was a victory, they won the seat.

Or to be more exact they held the seat which they've never lost, which doesn't make it that a big a victory at all.
