Why vote Labour in Shipley?

Shipley is a traditionally Conservative seat that elected a Labour MP in 1997 and 2001. Labour’s vote has trended upwards compared to the country in general and the Conservative lead in the 2019 election was not much above the national average. Latest polling shows Labour with a comfortable lead over the Conservatives when people are thinking about the general election in Shipley. However, polls have tightened during campaigns before and been in error in some previous elections. The Labour lead is also dependent on a significant third placed vote for Reform UK which the Conservatives will try to squeeze. No progressive party other than Labour is treating Shipley as a target seat.
