People in Hartlepool are not stupid, plus they are not far up the road from here so are aware of his history.
Other than that I am quite surprised it went to the Tories.

I agree.
The Labour candidate was a terrible choice.
This seat did nearly fall before.
There's been a move away in recent elections.
Absolutely leaves me devastated to see Labour doing so badly.
However it's politics, sometimes I never understand the thinking of some voters.
Today is one of those times no doubt.
It isn't just Hartlepool either however so really, a lot of other things need analysing and dealing with.
I know one thing, I as a party member will be helping gather support in the party for over the next couple of years.
