bittersweet - Matt Vickers

[boynogg]

On this historic wonderful day, the people of Stockton west have let themselves down, I mean Matt ruddy Vickers is still my MP - F***S***

 

[Duffman]

Feel embarrassed and ashamed to live in Stockton West today. People who voted for Vickers yesterday need to take a long hard look in the mirror this morning. Absolutely gutted he has taken the shine off one of the greatest days for the Labour Party

 

[Archiestephens_elbow]

People in this constituency are a disgrace to the town

 

[Linny]

Yeah, that was really disappointing. How people can vote Tory when you see the state the country is in is beyond me. Certain Tory heartlands I can understand, as most of the populace aren't the ones suffering due to their ineptitude, but on Teesside, that is disappointing.

Unfortunately with the removal of Thornaby from the ward that was always going to leave an uphill struggle with yarm, eaglescliffe and Ingleby. We all saw how many houchen banners they had out.

These boundary changes did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Absolutely bittersweet, really gutted to be honest.

 

[Zoophonic]

He's isolated now. I look forward to the NAU descending on the dark Lord.

Plenty in IB thinking they have made it by voting tory.

One of my neighbours puts tory leaflets through the door every campaign, he works for stockon council and his daughters a teacher. How could you vote Tory knowing first hand the decimation to public services.What an absolute clown

Tons on the IB noticeboard as well on Facebook.

Classic case of where greens and Lib Dem voters should have voted tactically as realistically they were never going to win here.

Vickers is isolated in a red wall. Houchen will be concerned that an independent investigation is on the horizon and he only has one ally in the area.

Any chance Houchen will end up behind bars

 

[LessoftheLip]

It was a neck and neck contest but out of all the local Tory MPs he is the dimmest. Houchen will get no credible support from Vickers.

 

[m3t4tr0n]

Makes the whole thing feel like a loss to me. Gutted. Just needed a few more racists, or a few less protest lib dem/green voters... Tory enablers

To be fair, he has two. Sunak's constituency stretches as far as Great Ayton, Hutton Rudby and Stokesley.

 

[Loop]

Why did he win then?

 

[Glover_elbow]

Why did he win then?

Because they changed the boundaries added tory villages and took away labour areas

 

[BoroPhil]

I don't think the boundary changes helped but Labour have been losing support in Thornaby for a while. All the polls and MRPs had it as quite a comfortable Labour victory so something has happened. Maybe the suggestion he was a parachuted in candidate (despite being from round here originally) cut through more than expected. Some voting for Greens and LDs as well maybe where people thought it would be a comfortable Labour victory based on the polls.

I hope you aren’t including Labour voters in that statement.

 

[jonny_greenings_sock]

Can't believe it. My MP.

What exactly did this d*ckhead do before entering politics? His website and everything else is extremely vague about it, I'm guessing car salesman or middle civil service management or something equally un-meritocratic and parasitic.

 

[atypical_boro]

At least the people of Hurworth will now finally get a say on what happens in Stockton town centre.
