Pretty big. Though the seats in question were at local elections so the 
Government doesn't fall and Parliament remains unchanged. Imagine if half 
the dogcatchers in the USA were voted out of office and it turned out they

were all Democrats replaced by Republicans.
This is a local trend that's been going on for some time. Except, for
****s 
sake, in Oxford where the Labour party (love the way you use that 'u') 
became the biggest party on the City Council in total defiance of the
trend. 
All over the country the rats are leaving the sinking ****ps and three
miles 
down the road the rats are being escorted on board by uniformed customer 
service operatives who are providing them with deckchairs, Malibu
cocktails 
and Havana cigars. Furrfu!

Boris has no more chance of getting elected ... oh, wait, I already did 
that.
Boris? Trip? If only he would.
