Title: Tories beat Labour in by-election

Quote from: BBC Web Shite

The Tories have taken Norwich North from Labour with a majority of more than 7,000, in the first Westminster by-election since the MPs expenses row.

Tory candidate Chloe Smith won with 13,591 - more than twice as many votes as the Labour candidate Chris Ostrowski who had 6,243 votes.

Always interesting to flick between Sky and BBC covering the same story
