02:16 -- Labour take Vale of Glamorgan

[greenwoodside]

 Background: Vale of Glamorgan is one of the richest areas in Wales. It has some of the highest property prices, and it some parts feels more like one of the richer areas of the West Country was dumped on the wrong side of the Bristol Channel. If you own a charming thatched cottage in Merthyr Mawr, you have made it. (Great place for cycling and visiting Norman remains too, incidentally, plus other historical sites. I regularly go on at length about the wonderful medieval wall paintings in the church of Llancarfan). 

Anyway, Glamorgan isn't true blue, but it has been Tory since 2010, and this was a seriously big swing to Labour. 

Probably my last post of the night. Normally I'm in bed by ten. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
