Durham goes into Labour
Are you surprised?
It’s The Tab what won it – Westminster old-hand, Roberta Blackman-Woods, has won the City of Durham Parliamentary constituency for the fourth time in a row.
It’s The Tab what won it
Blackman-Woods, the Labour candidate, had everything to lose, as she defended a 19-time Labour constituency.
Labour won the Durham City Constituency with 21,596 votes.
Controversial Lib-Dem, Craig Martin, towed the party line by putting in a dismal performance, polling just 5,232 votes.
Down at the count
Tories shocked by coming second with 10,157 votes, a surprising result for a seat so deeply rooted in the Labour movement.
Tory, Rebecca Coulson, was expected to pick up student votes.
She said: “A special shout-out to the students who live in the house across the road from me who have put posters up and invited me in for a drink when I get back tonight.
“I mean seriously, I’ve just had so much support from the students its been wonderful.”
Roberta wins….again
Hani Latif, co-chair of the Durham University Labour Club, told us: “A victory for Roberta Blackman-Woods and Labour in City of Durham is testament to a hard working and popular local MP.
“It shows people don’t believe the Tory plan is fair. It’s simply not working for those at the bottom of society.”
