Polls show ‘absolutely incredible turnaround’ for Labourpublished at 23:35 4 July
If the exit poll result is right it would be an “absolutely incredible turnaround” for Labour, its Alyn and Deeside candidate Mark Tami says.
Tami, first elected MP for the constituency in 2001, says he’d been getting mostly a positive response on the doorstep, “a little bit of apathy”, “20mph came up” but “fingers crossed we are here for a positive result tonight”.
He held onto seat by only 213 votes in 2019.
Asked how much of a honeymoon a new Labour government could expect, he says the party are not inheriting a “really great shape economy” and “there are lots of problems”.
“We aren’t promising the world and we are asking for some time to turn things around. Yes it’s going to be a challenge, but it’s a challenge that we are up for.”
