"I think it’s fair to say it would be a major shock if it did return a Conservative MP, it’s been Labour ever since the current constituency was created." Plus historically bi elections are usually lost by the party in power.

Probably closer than it was in 2019, especially due to the reasons why the last MP resigned ![](/icons/s/eek.gif) |

Can we just clarify for those who haven't seen it, who are we actually talking about here?
Local yobbos?
Official Ukip representatives or Ukip candidates?
Labour supporters?
Who? |

Piddcock lining herself up for the job, or will it be the former Stockton South MP (who has today been doing a bit of housekeeping on his Twitter account removing lots of his tweets where he mentions brexit and the referendum )

Wasn't Laura Pidcock a bit of a naughty girl last time out? Something about stationary expenses?
I bet SKS would live to get his big mate, Jenny Chapman, back after she managed to lose her Darlington seat in the last GE. |

Chapman was for staying in the town to fight and win back her seat; she had spent so long representing the good people of Darlington that she was not going to give up.... that is of course until SKS gave her a seat in the Lords, which she jumped at, of course
As suspected there are moves being made for Paul Williams, former MP for Stockton South to be the Labour candidate for the Hartlepool seat. As noted earlier in the thread, the local CLP seem to be having a few internal issues with this - which have come to light through some leaked emails.

"I think it’s fair to say it would be a major shock if it did return a Conservative MP, it’s been Labour ever since the current constituency was created. only had 4000 majority last time let's see
10,000 voted for the Brexit party, that won’t happen again, it will be very close
I heard a rumour that Richard Tice may stand.
He did last time, what party is he in these days?
i hope he's more selective in who his supporters are if he does
did you see the BBC special on ukip in hartlepool?
I haven’t seen it, let me guess, they were a bunch of racist morons?
hardly touches the sides
open threats to burn houses down
refusing to ever have an asian taxi driver
from memory the phrase used was "we've got ways of getting them out" in reference to asians
They sound like lovely people
Great bunch of lads
Can we just clarify for those who haven't seen it, who are we actually talking about here?
Local yobbos?
Official Ukip representatives or Ukip candidates?
Labour supporters?
Who?
Official brexit party ( see above ) representatives.
If I look this programme up, sit through it, and find that we're actually talking about local yobbos, I'm gonna get a bit upset, just saying.
This forum has not been the last bastion of accuracy recently.
You can get upset as you like. Your anger counts for nothing.
They were working for the brexit party.
The primary cause for the drop in accuracy would appear to start at your keyboard.
Try searching for dispatches Hartlepool
Oh look here it is
https://youtu.be/OYonssZACZY
Uh? Started off ITT as a BBC programme. Now you say it’s Dispatches Channel 4?
Laughable the stuff I’m expected to fact check. Laughable. "
I made the claim it was brexit party members.
I have proved that claim with evidence.
You have just wittered on and hid from the truth. Again.

The Brexit party is run and supported by ‘local yobbos’How do you know just your nassty mind
A professor told me. Tbh, not all the Brexit party supporters are local yobbos but all local yobbos are Brexit supporters Really you do talk some crap just general pre conceived thinking with little basis in fact.
You accused the party not there followers.You are discracfull sometimes"
Your moral outrage would look better if you typed disgraceful correctly. |

Right well I’ve watched the clip
So this is actually about two officials or volunteers who worked for Richard Tice two and a half years ago who UKIP sacked?
Not “a bunch of people”, and not Tice himself.
I don’t know anything about him, but lets stick to the facts and not get all hyperbolic.

Yes lets stick to facts
They were Brexit party members, one being a councillor.
They were racist scum
Tice showed no sign of moving against them until the TV aired, btw, if you have a black hole about Tice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Tice

I will continue to call out any racist idiots. Far as I can see, Tice employed or was associated with two people who turned out to be idiots who were sacked two years ago. Don't see the relevance to the by-election, not even the same party.
We've all formed our opinions on elements of the Labour Party by now, we're probably not gonna change each others views. |

Followers? You mean voters?
No idea you'd have to ask each of them.
You're suggesting that there are racist voters in Hartlepool.
I'm pretty sure there are racist voters in every constituency. There are probably armed robbers, perverts, muggers, fraudsters etc who have the vote in every constituency.
Who are they voting for?
In answer to your question, there's a fair chance that racist voters in Hartlepool will give their votes fairly evenly to tory, Labour, communist, and any far right parties. Probably not so much to greens and liberals. |

As OP, it wasn't mentioned as has denied the charges, and hasn't been found guilty of anything.
Only he knows why he resigned.
This is more of whether SKS, whose satisfaction level is dropping, can make his mark here. What sort of candidate will Labour put up? What will happen to all those UKIP and Brexit party votes? Can the Conservatives snatch this seat? |

Well the media is confidently reporting that's why he's quit so I'm going with that.
I have as I say been slow on the uptake, I now see the labour narrative lol, if the tories win it will be because of racist former ukip supporters voting for them
Got it

"Labour are indeed putting up Dr Paul Williams to fight the seat.
He was very pro second referendum last time out. "
As mentioned... he spent the early part of this week doing some housekeeping of his twitter account
There is considerable concern that he is not the right person for the job |

So now Labour are replacing their ex Hartlepool MP, who is accused of sexual misconduct, with a man who has made a historical inappropriate tweet of a sexual nature?
Maybe Laura Pidcock would be a better call.
