Newcastle upon Tyne North has seen large scale boundary changes for the general election, with less than half the former constituency remaining.

The changes have seen the constituency lose areas on the western fringes of Newcastle to three other seats (Newcastle Central and West, Hexham, and Cramlington and Killingworth) but bring in Jesmond, Kenton and parts of Gosforth from the two other seats in the city, as well as the Benton and Longbenton areas of North Tyneside.

The seat has been held by Labour since 1983, and by former solicitor Catherine McKinnell since 2010. A Shadow Education Minister, she is defending a majority of almost 6,000. Challengers include Liberal Democrat Aidan King, a doctor who stood as the party’s candidate to be North East mayor, and the Conservative candidate in that election, Guy Renner-Thompson.

Here are the Newcastle North candidates for the General Election in 2024:

Martin Evison - Social Democratic Party

Aidan King - Liberal Democrat

Deborah Lorraine - Reform

Catherine McKinnell - Labour

Sarah Peters - Green

Guy Renner-Thompson - Conservative

King Teare - Independent

Boris is the author of the Tories’ defeat
I’ve said it before, and will doubtless have cause to say it again: Boris Johnson might be the single most effective political illusionist this country has ever seen. No matter how many times experience fails to live up to the promise, there still seems to be no shortage of buyers for the could-have-been king act.

OPINION - Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own
The ridiculous claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election was the first big lie to infect its politics. Now Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own. There are plenty of Americans who would rather vote for a dead Biden than a live Trump, but not enough to win.
