The Labour Party candidate in the Bromley & Chislehurst by-election, Rachel Reeves, is not a happy woman.
A few days before the debacle, in which she finished 4th behind the UK Independence Party, Reeves unburdened herself of her woes in a Bromley restaurant. Realising that her vote had collapsed, she loudly blamed the unpopularity of Tony Blair, the war in Iraq, and UKIP, for the rejection she was experiencing on the doorstep. "Its hardly worth continuing this campaign" she exclaimed loudly.
If only she had realised that sat at the next table was a UKIP official who had travelled to Bromley to campaign for the party!
We strongly suspect that Ms Reeves will not be standing for the Labour Party again.
That same night, Labour failed to regain another seat, this time in Wales, that they had lost to an Independent candidate in 2005.
