Triumphant Tory - Lia Nici |
THERE was a huge shock for Labour as former stronghold constituency Great Grimsby fell to the Conservatives.
It was always thought that, this time round, it might be a close race, but, in the end, Lia Nici romped to victory, polling more votes than all the other candidates combined.
It was a bitter blow for Labour incumbent Melanie Onn who expressed personal disappointment but was gracious in defeat, congratulating her triumphant opponent.
The result, announced just before 4am, was:
Barfield (Lib-Dem): 1,070
Barker (Brexit): 2,378
Emmerson (Green): 514
Nici (Con): 18,150
Onn (Lab): 10,819
Winn (Ind): 156
Half-an-hour earlier, the outcome of the Cleethorpes vote saw Conservative candidate Martin Vickers returned for a third term with a thumping majority.
Result:
Horobin (Lib-Dem): 2,535
James (Lab): 10,551
Shanahan (Green): 1,284
Vickers (Con): 31,969
It's back to Westminster for Martin Vickers |
