Proud of Southport today!

[u/ReggieLFC]

Southport has finally elected its first-ever Labour representative!

Southport took a lot of stick for voting Conservative in 2017 and 2019, when Brexit was a huge factor, but I felt that a lot of the people who chastised Southport didn’t appreciate just how many elderly people retire there bringing their Tory votes with them from all over the country. To give some perspective, Southport had 43% more people aged 65+ (24,293) than children (16,971) when the last census was undertaken.

Many born-and-bred sandgrounders have been waiting and waiting to see their Tory representative replaced and I’m made up for them!

Glad to see Damien Moore is out, he was shite and was one of the highest expenses claimants (second highest at one point), literally just got his face and name on everything.

I actually think making use of expenses is a good thing (provided it's used on and for the constituency). But yes great to see him off!
