Looks like broadly what I think – Labour holding on with a reduced majority – probably slightly more than halved.
On the 1979 election program, when Plymouth Devonport was declared, with David Owen doing well to hold on as I said,
the declaration was without a platform, the candidates just standing in this fairly enclosed room IIRC, and the declaration interrupted by a phone ringing, and I think it was Dr Owen who picked it up and put it down again to cut them off.
BNP have selected Roy Cook here
