More and more interesting results: Conservatives gain High Peak (a suburban district outside Manchester) and Montgomeryshire in Wales (where the Lib Dem had won big in 2005), Leicestershire Northwest , Aberconwy, Basildon South, and they’ve gained Tamworth from the Lib Dems. Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s brilliant spin doctor, says. “Tories don’t feel like we did in 1997. . . . This is not a country with a Conservative majority.” Conservatives lost Somerton and Frome in the Lib Dem-leaning West country. Lib Dem frontbencher Chris Huhne holds on in Eastleigh, a suburb of Southampton.
