Labour's candidate in the Hartlepool by-election has been accused of "desperate" tactics to win back "Red Wall" voters by handing out St George's cross flyers to put in their windows.
Posters handed out late last week wished voters "Happy St George's Day from Dr Paul Williams and the Labour team". The flyers said: "Display this poster with pride in your window. Please enjoy St George's Day in a Covid-secure way, helping us all defeat the virus together."
