John Parker, Labour MP for Dagenham from 1945 to 1983, once ran on the slogan ?give me a forty thousand majority?. The seat swung to the Tories in the eighties as part of a protest against the hard left in London Labour, but while nearby seats like Thurrock and Walthamstow fell, Labour held Dagenham in 1987 (though only by about 3500), which was a little red island in a deep blue Tory sea. It is also site of the biggest public housing estate in Western Europe. |
