Conservative candidate Jill Mortimer secured 15,529 votes, while Labour hopeful Dr Paul Williams won 8589. Her total number of votes was 51.88% of those cast, and represented 6940 more votes than her Labour competitor received. Labour sources say Sir Keir Starmer will “take responsibility for these results”, but took a thinly veiled swipe at his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, adding the party “has not changed nearly enough for voters to place their trust in us”. Under Corbyn’s leadership Labour won Hartlepool with 15,464 votes, with their vote share down by about 14%. A major electoral change since then has been the collapse of support for the Brexit Party/Reform UK, which won 25.8% of the vote in 2019.

Labour peer Peter Mandelson (left) blamed Keir Starmer s election losses on his predecessor LABOUR grandee Peter Mandelson has said that his party s election defeat in Hartlepool was about Jeremy Corbyn, despite the party having won that seat twice under his leadership. Mandelson, who served as the MP for Hartlepool from 1992 to 2004, said he had not heard any voters “mention Brexit” but many had cited Corbyn. Speaking on BBC Radio 4 s Today programme, the former Labour business secretary said his party’s historic defeat was down to “two Cs – Covid and Corbyn”. It is the first time that Labour has lost the Westminster seat since it was created in 1974 and only the third time a sitting government has won a by-election against the opposition since 1982.
