Ealing Southall: LibDems on shorter odds than Tories on Betfair

I never really pay much attention to election betting. But Iain Dale made a big thing of showing two graphs on July 10th showing increased betting on the Tories, and decreased betting on the LibDems, at Ealing Southall. The graph was from Betfair.

In fact, today Betfair show the LibDems on shorter odds than the Tories.
