Swing seat win puts Labour on right path but wildly high national poll leads are generous 🔍 Analysis by ChaplainChloe

sends a “clear message” to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak about his leadership. Arguably it is too early into his term for this to be considered a referendum on his premiership, but the result suggests Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is able to be cautiously optimistic., who resigned his Commons seat after complaints of “serious sexual misconduct” were upheld by a parliamentary watchdog.

The north-west constituency has been a swing seat since the nineties and has generally followed the pattern of the nation. In 1997, it went red under Tony Blair’s landslide victory and then blue under David Cameron’s Tories in 2010. In 2015, Labour just about managed to win the seat back but it was the most marginal in the country, with a majority of 0.1 per cent. The party’s tentative hold over the seat has wobbled through the political turbulence of the past few years.

At first glance, an opposition party defending its own seat after 12 years out of Government is not particularly striking. But there is no doubt that frustration at the Conservative governance and the economic turbulence has contributed to Labour increasing its majority from 11 per cent to just under 39 per cent.
