The town that NEVER votes Labour
HERE COME THE LIB DEMS
For our next constituency, we went to somewhere where the Tories are being chased not by Labour, but the Liberal Democrats. The south coast town of Eastbourne has flip-flopped between blue and yellow rosettes over several elections. In next month's contest, there is an added factor: Reform. The party could well pull votes away from Caroline Ansell's defence of her place in Parliament. Here's what people around the bandstand and beach thought.
Full list of candidates in Eastbourne
Caroline Ansell, Conservative
Mark Ashdown, Reform UK
Josh Babarinde, Lib Dems
Ian Garbutt, UKIP
Mike Munson, Greens
Paul Richards, Labour
