You mean other left wing activists can't understand why decades of Labour failure to represent Hartlepool successfully haven't been rewarded by giving them another opportunity to fail the town? Labour have been in charge of representing Hartlepool for decades longer than I've been alive and have failed time and again. The stupidity is that of yourself and the left-wing activists you're quoting who can't understand why the voters are rejecting more of the same bullshit.

Also before you continue to quote more left-wing idiots on Twitter who are too stupid to understand why they've been rejected for a change - it might be worth educating yourself some more on the local background. Hartlepool is part of Tees Valley, normally all a lifelong Labour area. One of the greatest shocks in 2017 was young Tory Ben Houchen unexpectedly winning the Mayoral election there. Since he won there unexpectedly he had worked incredibly hard for the area bringing great amounts of investment - he recently helped secure a deal to get GE to create a major investment in Teesside to create wind turbines. For the last four years he's really delivered for the local area in a way that decades of Labour representation failed to do. I know currently active Labour and Liberal Democrat activists in the area who in the privacy of the ballot box voted for Houchen this time around, such a high regard they hold him personally in now. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/t...giant-20052856

Houchen has done such a good job representing Tees Valley that he won re-election with 72.8% of the vote, up from 35% in the first round in 2017, absolutely incredible. He swept every single part of the Mayoral area including Hartlepool. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_T...yoral_election

The voters in Hartlepool knew they could vote for a Labour MP who would do what Labour MPs have done for six decades in Hartelpool, who wouldn't work with the central government or the Mayor meaning they're more likely to miss out on investment, led by a Labour leader who was campaigning on wallpaper - or they could vote for a Tory MP for a change who would fight to deliver for Hartlepool to be re-elected in a few years time, who would work with the Mayor and the PM to deliver - with a PM that was campaigning in the area on jabs and jobs not wallpaper.

The voters are smarter than the stupid morons you follow on Twitter who engage in your left-wing circlejerk but don't understand why Hartlepool voting for a Tory for the first time in nearly six decades was a vote to change how their town gets represented.
