To Sum Up

The Labour Party are licking their wounds yet again in Sunderland. The party lost 4 seats in last year’s local council elections but this year they lost 12 seats.

The Conservative Party took 4 seats from Labour and so did the Lib-Dems. The Green Party won a seat from Labour while UKIP took 3 seats from the failing party.

Sunderland overwhelmingly voted for Brexit 3 years ago and the MP’s have failed to deliver. The voters of Sunderland are letting the parties know of their disappointment through the local council elections. This is also being reflected throughout the country too.

    Not looking good for this once Labour Party stronghold. The UKIP vote was massive and could have easily got a few more seats in Sunderland. This is sending a clear message to both Labour and the Tories and they should start listening if they want the votes to come back their way.

    Do you hold the recent Easington District Council Election results or know how I can access them ? I was born at Easington Colliery in 1936 and lived there until 1963, with breaks to do my National Service from 1954 to 1956 (mainly in Iraq) then term times as an adult student in Oxford and Hull between 1960 and 1963. But I latert visited the area regularly to see my parents until 1999 when at 90 year of age my mother was the last to die. Making odd visits since. The annual journal of North East Labour Society contains three articles of mine in its 2011, 2012 and 2013 editions about Easington Collliery from the time of its first efforts to sink the pit in 1899 up to 1935. Unfortunately I did not continue these. For I had reached 77 by the last one was published and regular visits to the Durham Records Office were becoming a bit much for me. But I had another article in the 2017 issue called “Easington Colliery : My Pathway To Politics”. I went on to become the Labour MP for North East Derbyshire (from 1987 to 2005) where I have lived for the past 50 years.
