Labour’s Kate Osborne, a former postal worker and union activist, is defending the seat that she won in a general election for the first time in 2019. The majority of the new seat comes from the former Jarrow constituency, apart from the Cleadon and East Boldon ward.

Areas of Gateshead have also been added, with Felling, Windy Nook and Whitehills all coming into the constituency. The seat has been held by Labour since 1935, and even in 2019 returned a majority of more than 7,000.

The Conservatives have selected Jack Gebhard, a former councillor in Northumberland who works for one of their MPs.

Here are the Jarrow and Gateshead East candidates for the General Election in 2024:

Lynda Alexander - Reform

Mark Conway - Alliance for Democracy and Freedom ADF

Nic Cook - Green

Jack Gebhard - Conservative

Kate Osborne - Labour

Jamie Rickleton - Liberal Democrat

Goodbye, Galloway. This was a triumph for Israel
British politics has hardly covered itself in glory in recent years. After the shame of the Corbyn years was punctured by the glorious Tory victory of 2019, we were subjected to a veritable gallery of disgrace: soaring immigration, Covid authoritarianism, Partygate, the Truss-Kwarteng interregnum, Gaza fanaticism. But the true nadir was the election of George Galloway in Rochdale.

The polls got it wrong again, overestimating Keir Starmer
Few things in British politics seem familiar this morning. So it’s a welcome feature of this election that the pollsters have seemingly, once again, got it wrong. They overestimated the Lib Dems in 2010. They failed to spot a Tory majority in 2015. They largely didn’t foresee Brexit or Theresa May losing her majority. Now add to that list the apparent overestimation of Labour’s lead.
