Went down to Seaham Conservative Club yesterday to a ‘meet the candidate’ do. Quite impressed by Richard Harrison who seems to have the balance between enthusiasm and realism just about right.

I’ve always thought it odd that Seaham has a Conservative Club at all, never mind such a large one. In the old days Seaham Town Council – Labour through and through – used to have its larger functions there, possibly still does.

Was Seaham in Durham South East until 1918 and in Easington since 1950? Manny Shinwell was MP here for many years.

There isn’t a by-election here though. Obviously I take your point. But certain seats just don’t have the social composition to lend themselves to change.

A lot of so-called safe seats fall at By-elections.

Crosby falling to Shirley Williams for example.
