Very difficult to draw too many conclusions from what goes on in Hartlepool.
It's a weird old place at the best of times and 70% leave voting.
The Brexit vote became so polarising that only those leavers who personally suffer as a result of Brexit (and are bright enough to realise it) are going to stop voting for their Brexit champions.
Long road ahead for opposition parties and, I fear, the UK. |  |

You have to ask why 70 per cent of people voted to leave the EU in a working class traditional Labour area. The EU obviously did nothing for their lives, and in fact they felt it made their lives worse. Their will, was respected by one party only, so it is not surprising they were elected.

I think that most people don’t have a clue about how the EU effected their lives. Sadly having been fed a great deal of anti EU propaganda for the tabloids and the likes of Boris Johnson (straight bananas 😂) and Brexiteers feeding on the paranoia about “foreigners” and immigration it was never a level playing pitch. Through in the total ball ocks about giving the £345m a week to the NHS (which completely ignored the money that we got back from the EU) and it was little wonder that Farage though all his birthdays had come at once. |  | | |

What makes you think that I hate Northern working class people? As far as I am concerned, anyone who has to work for a living is working class. Not that it matters, but I live opposite a row of council houses. Where I live couldn’t be described as affluent and the cottage I live in was built as a worker’s cottage for labourers from the local priory. If I was that way inclined, don’t you think I would be supporting Johnson? | | | |
