I can see why the Tories won it last time but all those red wall areas are swinging back (look at Blackpool). I wouldn't have thought Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, etc were particularly Tory nowadays.

I'd recommend not taking a trip to any of then.

My gran was originally from Hartlepool, and never spoke fondly of it. My Mum decided to have a pilgrimage there after gran passed away, and she managed four hours before deciding it wasn't for her.

I think I've been to them all over the years. None of them struck me as Tory heartlands.
