You can’t trust Mackems…..
In what way?the whole Labour party is a fcuking joke and someone needs to take responsibility for it.
Embarrassing for my address!
Or Stockton Syndrome. Speaking of which, I wonder if my great mate Ben fancies selling me the High Street? I think £17.50 is fair but could go to £20 if pushed.Turkeys again vote for Christmas ... complete stockholm syndrome
Didn’t get one leaflet from Labour in Redcar. Had them from Houchen and Young.
Kept seeing Houchen’s post on Facebook, don’t think I saw any from Labour’s candidate.
Poor campaign.
He's only won by sheer apathy!
The turn out is so low, most who backed him last time clearly don't want to again but can't bring themselves to go out and vote for someone else...
For me its as bad a reflection on local Labour as it is on Ben Houchen.
This is largely on Labour. I live in Redcar and work form home and I haven't seen any canvasser's out for this. Other than this board, I've seen very little about the election at all - for something so important to the area Labour haven't done anything to inspire the population.It's "only" down 3% on the turnout from his landslide win last time.
Most people can rarely be arsed to vote in local elections.
I think it's an election that Labour could have won with a more inspiring candidate, but the swing is still looking promising for the future.
I'm not sure how much the Turley factor played into this but I'd imagine it wasn't zero. I won't vote for Turley in the GE but I voted Labour last night in both Mayoral and PCC as the only viable alternative.If Reform or the Lib Dems fielded a decent candidate they could win. Turley is widely disliked.
The best thing Labour can do is offer unconditional backing until/unless any wrongdoing is uncovered.So we're going to have a Labour gov with a mayor they're going to be desperate to hammer
sigh
read my whole post...In what way?
looking at the figures it would only have made a difference in the Middlesbrough count.WTF were the lib dems thinking fielding a candidate
Considering this is their trade, they really don't get it do they, they might as well have been putting up vote houchen signs.
