Lord Houchen’s majority over Labour was much reduced, but he managed to secure re-election on a difficult night for his party.
Conservative Ben Houchen has been re-elected as mayor of the Tees Valley region, with a much reduced majority over Labour.
In a victory speech on Friday, Lord Houchen said his re-election was “the greatest honour anyone could give me”. Labour had already conceded defeat, but said the party had secured a large enough swing to win every parliamentary seat in the region and claimed Lord Houchen had run his campaign as a “pseudo-independent”.A Labour spokesman said: “If Rishi Sunak doesn’t take this result as a major wake-up call he is in denial.”
He told Sky News: “We absolutely don’t shy away from that at all, and Rishi’s been up during the campaign and we have always said Rishi’s been a great friend to the people of Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool.”But he added that he would work with anyone “to get what I need to get”, including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer if he became prime minister.
