The live blog at Guardian (UK) (where all this is found at!) says based on Labour sources that they narrowly eeked out a win in Heywood and Middleton. Maybe less than a thousand votes!
Paul Nuttall: UKIP Deputy Leader @paulnuttallukip: “We are now the official opposition to Labour in the North of England”.
It is too early to tell but it seems like a big night for UKIP.
Here is the final result in Heywood and Middleton:
LAB 11,633 UKIP 11,016 CON 3,496 LIB DEM 1,457 GREEN 870
It’s amazing but we needed this close defeat to remind us all in every election – all the votes count!
