Jonathan Reynolds MP (Labour)
Watching him now on Sky News. Very good talker. Honest. Could be one to watch in the future.

even when I was a Corbyn supporter I had a lot of time for Jonny Reynolds. I still like him now.

Labour has had some narrow majorities but has managed to hold this seat since 1945. The last Tory MP was Philip Dunne, grandfather of his namesake in Ludlow When the Tories won S&H at most of the inter-war elections it didn't include Mossley, but did include the Tintwistle area near Glossop. Mossley didn't come into S&H until 1997, but the most important change to the political and social character of the area was the construction of the Manchester overspill estate at Hattersley, in what had been a sparsely populated rural corner of the constituency. The very worst of the polls before the 1983 election suggested that S&H might conceivably become marginal if there had been an even more serious Labour defeat. But in effect it had ceased to be marginal once Hattersley was built. Rather like Harold Wilson's Huyton constituency ceased to be marginal with the construction of a Liverpool overspill estate at Kirkby. |

Hattersley is a rather smaller proportion of S&H than Kirkby was of Huyton (and the latter didn't get much less safe when Kirkby was removed in 1974.)

Hattersley is a rather smaller proportion of S&H than Kirkby was of Huyton (and the latter didn't get much less safe when Kirkby was removed in 1974.) A Mike Harding song, The Hattersley Lament, summarised what the popular perception of Hattersley was. It went: Oh dear, what can the matter be, Some silly bugger has moved us to Hattersley, We’ve been up Hattersley three weeks on Saturday, Oh how I wish we weren’t here. Butcher, butcher, give us a sheep’s head, because we can’t afford dear meat, But please don’t pull its eyes out, Because it’s got to see us through next week. |
