| A rock solid Labour seat. In 1981, when the SDP-Liberal Alliance was sweeping all before it and Liberal leader David Steel was telling his party conference to go home and prepare for Government, Labour managed to hold this seat even though Roy Jenkins, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and President of the European Commission, was the SDP candidate. |
