Labour has pulled off a “historic” victory in the North Yorkshire mayoral election, with rural older voters turning their back on Rishi Sunak “in his own backyard”.
The local elections saw Labour’s David Skaith beat the Conservative’s Keane Duncan to become York and North Yorkshire’s first mayor of the combined authority. Mr Skaith won with 66,761 votes to Mr Duncan’s 51,967, with the Liberal Democrat candidate Felicity Cunliffe-Lister coming third with just over 30,000 votes. Labour picked up over 25,000 votes in York, more than three times that of the Conservatives, while it only missed out on winning the rest of the area by 41,122 votes to 44,794.
North Yorkshire is home to some of the Government’s safest seats with Richmond and Northallerton, Skipton and Ripon, and Thirsk and Malton all boasting majorities of over 20,000. The victory in the mayoral contest was seen by Labour figures as a boost to hopes of pushing for other seats such as Scarborough and York Outer.
