Tories wait 82 years for a Stoke-on-Trent MPpublished at 14:38 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

BBC Local LiveIn 1935, World War Two had yet to start, the abdication crisis involving King Edward VIII hadn't happened and Stanley Baldwin was prime minister.
That gives you an idea of Jack Brereton's achievement in winning the Stoke-on-Trent South seat for the Conservatives, the first Tory MP for the city in 82 years.

In 2015, the then Labour MP Rob Flello had a majority of over 2,500 and the 26-year-old Tory contender turned that into a 663 majority of his own.
Some of that may well have come from the UKIP vote two years ago - then, they took 8,298 votes; this time, they didn't field a candidate in the seat.
The Liberal Democrats and Green Party also suffered from the two-party dominance, as both went from over 1,000 votes in 2015 to hundreds this time.
Stoke-on-Trent South's been held by Labour from 1950 when it was created and, before that, they held the preceding Stoke seat from 1935 until it was abolished in 1950., external

End of twitter postLord Mandelson: 'I was wrong'published at 14:33 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
BBC News Channel
The former Labour cabinet minister Peter, now Lord, Mandelson says last night's result was a political "earthquake".
Lord Mandelson, who has been a critic of Jeremy Corbyn, was challenged over his view of the leadership and admitted: "I was wrong, I am very surprised, an earthquake has happened in British politics."
He went on to say he had not foreseen the result and said Jeremy Corbyn had been "very sure footed" in the campaign.
But he said if Labour was to come first and not be what he called "a good second" next time, Mr Corbyn had to build on what he'd achieved and be much more "ecumenical" in his approach, starting with the Labour party itself.
