| Ivor Caplin secured a huge swing in 1997 to score one of Labour's most surprising gains in a seat previously held by Tory trade minister Timothy Sainsbury, a member of the Sainsbury's supermarket dynasty. However, don't count on this one going straight back into the Tory column. Caplin has strong local roots and a high profile, and Labour held Brighton and Hove Council surprisingly easily in May 1999. |
