This is how the North East voted in the 2019 General Election

As people headed to the polling stations across the region, or ensured their postal vote made it to the count in time, a series of constituencies turned from red to blue as the Conservatives took seats from Labour.

They included Blyth Valley, which has never before been held by a Tory following the creation of the constituency in 1950, and was previously held by Labour’s Ronnie Campbell, who stepped down.

It also happened in Durham North West, where Corbynista Laura Pidcock lost out to her Conservative rival.

She had been elected in 2017 and served as Shadow Secretary of State for Employment Rights in Jeremy Corbyn’s Shadow Cabinet.

In Bishop Auckland, Helen Goodman failed to win re-election for Labour and was beaten by her Conservative adversary, who won with 7,962 more votes, while in Darlington, Jennie Chapman also lost her seat by 3,292 votes.

In Sedgefield, where former Labour leader Tony Blair was MP, Phil Wilson lost by 4,513 votes.

Also to the south of the region, in Stockton South, Paul Williams also lost out to his Tory opponent, while Redcar also crossed over to the Conservatives.

Meanwhile, in Labour stronghold seats, members saw their majorities slashed.

This included Mike Hill in Hartlepool, whose vote share was down by -14.8%, with challenges from both the Conservative and Brexit Party candidates.

Across Wearside, all three Labour MPs, Julie Elliott for Sunderland Central, Sharon Hodgson in Washington and Sunderland West, and Bridget Phillipson, who sits in Houghton and Sunderland South, retained their seats, but acknowledged change lies ahead.

In South Tyneside, Labour held on to both seats.

Emma Lewell-Buck will return as the South Shields MP for the party, but has warned there must be a new approach to politics.

Jarrow welcomes Kate Osborne as its new MP, after Stephen Hepburn was barred from standing for the party.

Although she took victory, her win represented a dent in the majority for Labour.
