    Probably not but it might be close.

    Rather different results to the rest of the country; Labour did relatively well (where being down 3.5% is “relatively well”), losing their third seat, as expected, but easily holding their second. Little progress for the Conservatives, and UKIP fell back, as did the Lib Dems, and the BNP were a long way off winning a seat, but the Greens put in a strong performance.

    What a fantastic result for the no 17 Indi! 50k+ votes, 3rd in Harrow, near 4th in Brent. Quite a showing. Who is she and what’s her story?
