THINGS just got worse for Gordon Brown in St Ives where the Labour candidates in the county council elections were beaten by a Loony.
Despite failing to win the seat, Lord Toby Jug, Cambridgeshire’s first Official Monster Raving Loony Party Candidate, was celebrating his best ever result in decades of political campaigning by winning 566 votes – well ahead of Labour’s two candidates who finished last.
"It is a Loony landslide. Democratic loonyism has arrived in St Ives," said Lord Toby.
"People in St Ives have voted for the sanest candidate."
St Ives was won by the Conservatives, with the Liberal Democrats in second place.
Lord Toby won 6.23 per cent of the vote, ahead of Labour’s Richard Allen on 362 and Angela Richards on 343.
