Vote Labour

Why vote Labour in Telford?

Telford was gained by the Conservatives from Labour in 2015 and the Tories won with a large majority in the 2019 election. However, the sitting Conservative MP is standing down and has endorsed Reform UK who are polling well. Labour has been ahead here in local elections and polling. Latest polling shows Labour with a clear but not overwhelming lead over the Conservatives in this constituency, but polls have tightened during campaigns before and been in error in some previous elections. No other party regards it as a target seat, and given the current polling voting other than for Labour risks letting the Conservatives in.
