Helen Hayes retains Dulwich and West Norwood seat for Labour

Dulwich & West Norwood MP Helen Hayes comfortably retained her seat for Labour last night.

Hayes’ share of the vote fell by 4.2 per cent, while Green Party leader Jonathan Bartley increased their portion of the ballot by 14 per cent, hurdling the Tories, who were second in 2017.

Hayes polled 36,521 votes, 846 fewer than in 2017 – but still posted a 27,361 majority.

Turnout was just under 70 per cent.

The Brexit Party’s Julia Stephenson gained 571 votes, Anthony Hodgson of the Christian Pepple’s Alliance 242, and UKIP’s John Plume 73.
