Newcastle-under-Lyme: 'Most likely to change hands'published at 05:11 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Emma Thomas
Political reporter, BBC Radio StokeIf I was a gambler, I’d suggest this is the seat in our patch most likely to change hands. (There is a recount underway).
In 2015 Labour’s Paul Farrelly won by just 650 votes, that's around 1%.
Since then he campaigned against Brexit, opposing 65% of his constituents and voted against triggering article 50.
His biggest challenger is the Conservative Owen Meredith, a Keele Graduate who now works in publishing.
However, there is a big student population, so Labour’s education policies might prove popular.
Newcastle-under-Lyme is one of the constituencies where no female candidates have stood since boundary changes in 2010.
