UNFORTUNATELY the result probably won’t be in until after we go to press, but I’d describe the mood as “quietly confident” — not just of her winning her seat again but of us finally removing the ghastly Tory majority on Adur Council which has festered there for decades like a pair of mouldy underpants.
