Apparently, it was all about #ukip not #Corbyn - #bbcnews and #c4news report the #OldhamWest by-election

"When the box was opened it was 99.9% Labour"

Ooh, she's added an extra 0.9% to make the story seem a little more real

.@ITVnews' take on #OldhamWest? "#Corbyn hasn't scared too many @UKLabour voters away"

Honestly.You couldn't make this stuff up

#mediabias

And my prize for understatement of the week goes to @UKIP_Reborn ("these groups" = #Muslims)
@SLATUKIP #OldhamWest

Humphrys can't bring himself to give #OldhamWest more than cursory comment & quickly reverts to @uklabour divisions over #SyriaVote
#r4today

Humphrys: "For weeks, there were apocalyptic warnings...[about #oldhamwest]"

Cephologist's say lower t/out at by elections leads to smaller margin of victory for incumbents...apart from #OldhamWest apparently
#r4today

"For weeks, we've heard that Corbyn would..."

#r4today presenter disowns responsibility for whipping-up anti-Corbyn media mania
#oldhamwest

Monster Raving Loony Party came last in #OldhamWest, but it was a tough field for them this time

i mean just imagine if Corbyn's politics weren't popular in the Labour heartlands just imagine #OldhamWest

What a decent, charming man.

No but we need to be wary of the white working-class votes Labour is losing to apparently nobody' #OldhamWest

'Hilary Benn wins #OldhamWest for Labour in victory for hilarious narrative dissonance' #tomorrowspaperstoday

'Insufficient number of racists in #OldhamWest for vote to be valid' say UKIP.

'Postal votes unfairly disadvantage me' says racist. #OldhamWest

As #UKIP become more and more marginalised they can't stop their knee-jerk #racism from bubbling to the surface

#bbctw #oldhamwest

Imagine a world where @Nigel_Farage can't hold the truth in his head oh hang on #OldhamWest

*tents fingers*

*waits for narrative to change from 'insufficiently white Labour victory'...*
