Champion Independent candidate Yvonne Ridley loses Newcastle Central and West to Labour Chi Onwurah.
The biggest loss in the general elections has been the independents who were disadvantaged because they didn’t have enough time to prepare.
A strategy the Tories used to limit their losses. Despite this Yvonne Ridley made serious strides in denting labour’s dominance in the region by reducing it by 10% in 4 weeks.
