  The Conservative Anne McIntosh has won the delayed general election vote in the North Yorkshire constituency of Thirsk and Malton.
  
  Liberal Democrat Howard Keal was second with Labour's Jonathan Roberts beaten into third.
  
  The vote was delayed following the death last month of UKIP candidate John Boakes.
  
  Figures show 38,142 votes were cast in Thursday's ballot with turnout put at 50.3%.
  
  Ms McIntosh was MP for Vale of York in the last Parliament.
  
  The constituency of Thirsk and Malton was created from the former seats of Ryedale and Vale of York.
  
  No surprises here then!

  Stitch up? What stitch up? That area's as blue as you can get, even the sheep drive Land Rovers and wear Barbour jackets........the only stitch up I can see is that the Labour candidate managed to get 5000 votes, some 6000 less than last time round: without tongue in cheek, I would suggest that the Labour chap was well and truly stitched up by Gordon Brown and the revlations of just how bad Labour left the economy in.
  True friends stab you in the front.
