Once a rare Conservative stronghold in the North East, Tynemouth has been held by Labour since 1997 after the election of former schoolteacher Alan Campbell. Now Labour’s chief whip, Sir Alan currently holds a majority of almost 5,000.

His opponents in the general election will include Lewis Bartoli, a Conservative councillor in Tynemouth, and John Appleby, a retired academic who was the Lib Dem candidate for North of Tyne mayor in 2019. Coun Bartoli is contesting the seat for a second election running, while this will be Mr Appleby’s fourth attempt on the seat.

The Tynemouth constituency has lost the Valley ward to the new Cramlington and Killingworth seat but has gained the Riverside area that used to be in North Tyneside.

Here are the Tynemouth candidates for the General Election in 2024:

John Appleby - Liberal Democrat

Lewis Bartoli - Conservative

Sir Alan Campbell - Labour

Rosalyn Elliot - Reform

Christopher Greener - Independent

Kelly Oliver Dougall - Party of Women

Mustaque Rahman - Independent

Chloe-Louise Reilly - Green

Adam Thewlis - Heritage Party

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 world must prepare for President Michelle Obama
The 2024 US Presidential race intensifies.

Among the names circulating, a game-changer is emerging: Michelle Obama. Could this be America’s worst nightmare?
The Telegraph
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.
The Telegraph
The real reason the Tories face years in the wilderness
Today, even before votes have been cast, the recriminations on the right of British politics have begun. Unfortunately, there is no sign as yet that people even understand what has actually happened and why. This makes an effective response impossible.

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.
