Half the ukip/ brexit party votes went to the Tories the other half didn’t bother. Looks like many previous Lab voters didn’t bother either

Labour currently offer very little to voters.
The only people who will now vote for them are dyed in the wool Labour voters that have always voted Labour and always will.
The type of person that looks at all the options and makes an informed decision aren’t going to opt to vote for the Labour. Party. Labour offer no opposition to the current government and don’t appeal to the modern voter.

The incoming MP says that the people voted for change, for incoming investment, new jobs etc.
They've voted for the party that has been in government for the majority of the last half century which has denied them this.
Propaganda works.

It’s simple isn’t it?
Money for votes.
Ben Houchen has shown that a Tory connection gets access to the magic money tree.
Vote Tory - you get the money.
Vote Labour (or other) - you get nothing.

Full Hartlepool by-election result as Jill Mortimer wins for the Conservatives by nearly 7,000 votes
Jill Mortimer is Hartlepool’s new MP after the Conservatives emphatically won Hartlepool’s by-election to break Labour’s 57-year Parliamentary reign over the town.
She successfully overcame a 3,595 majority held by former Labour MP Mike Hill after his sudden resignation triggered the by-election.
Counting of votes went on until around 6.45am with the winner eventually declared shortly after 7am.
Mrs Mortimer, a farmer and district councillor from North Yorkshire, is the first Hartlepool MP since naval hero Commander John Kerans stood down ahead of the 1964 General Election..
She campaigned on having a plan for jobs through the new freeport, apprenticeships, regenerating the town centre and cutting crime with more police on the beat.
Her election bid was boosted by three visits to Hartlepool by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a number of other senior ministers.

We'll see. We've had nothing from Houchen that makes any real difference to our lives. We were in a better state before his position existed.
We've had nothing from this government other than promises. No real change other than a real swing towards corruption
