Labour have run Hull for too long – decades in fact – both running the City Council and representing it in Parliament. Alan Johnson, the former Labour MP for the seat where I am standing, even ran the Labour campaign to keep Britain in Europe. Yet 68% of voters in Hull West and Hessle backed Brexit. Is there any wonder that people here feel that Labour are letting us down? But it doesn’t stop there. Emma Hardy, the current Labour candidate, was a strong Remainer.
