Labour Field Two Hard Remain Candidates in 'Brexit Capital'
Post Body

In the Stoke Centeral by-election triggered by the standing down of Labour MP, Tristram Hunt, who was offered in two constituencies that he had no connection with before being parachuted into formerly safe seat of Stoke Centeral, a place he also has no connection with.

It now turns out that the seat is not so safe. A recent poll by Labour Leave found that UKIP have a ten point leave over Labour, coming in at 35% and 25% respectively.

Labour has three remaining candidates in the field for the seat. Of these two are/were ardent remainers and the other appears to be a Brexit voter.

Candidate Gareth Snell appears to be a supported of hard Brexit:

Though his exact leaning is not clear.

The other two candidates,

Trduie McGuiness:

Allison Gardner:

are/were hard remainers.

A peruse of Ms Gardner's Twitter show she still has not come to terms with Brexit. Her Twitter feed shows a considerably far-left leaning, with many mentions of the Fabian Society.

Ms McGuiness is also having trouble coming to terms with the vote, to a lesser extent. Her Twitter also has many mentions of the Fabian Society

Gareth Snell's Twitter describes himself as a Fabian.
