The Labour Party has gained three seats in Stoke-on-Trent, turning the constituencies red for the first time since 2019 for North and Central, and 2017 for South. 

David Williams (North), Gareth Snell (Central) and Allison Gardner (South) have all been elected as Labour MPs. 

Stoke-on-Trent North was a Labour stronghold from its creation in 1950, until Jonathan Gullis (Conservative) won the seat in 2019. But tonight, David Williams (Labour) received 14,969 votes compared to Mr Gullis' 9,497.

He told the LDRS: "I think the work that Kier Starmer has done over the past four-and-a-half years to completely transform the Labour Party is pretty incredible. I've spoken to about 18,000 people in the past year-and-a-half since I got selected, and what's really interesting is that a lot of the issues that people were talking to me about on a door is exactly what's in the six steps.

"What people told me quite clearly on the doors, is that they're a ready for change, and I'm just really excited that the people of Stoke-on-Trent North and Kidsgrove have decided to back me to be their MP to go off to fight for what they care about, what their family cares about, and what our community cares about. So I'm really excited to get started to make a difference to the lives of people Stoke on Trent North and Kidsgrove."

Stoke-on-Trent Central was also a Labour seat from 1950, until Jo Gideon won the seat for Conservatives in 2019. Ms Gideon did not stand for re-election this year, and Chandra Kanneganti stood for the Conservatives instead, receiving 6,221 votes.

Gareth Snell (Labour) received 14,950 votes, meaning he will be returning to parliament as he previously served as Stoke Central's MP between 2017 and 2019.

He said: "Labour spent the last election arguing amongst itself, telling the electorate that they were wrong and they needed to understand why we were right, and we've changed that. We've listened, we've engaged and I genuinely think we've created a Labour party that's more engaging with communities like Stoke-on-Trent and we've offered policies that have resonated.

"Obviously, the low turnout means there's more to do, and the fact that so many people felt they couldn't come back to Labour and voted for other parties is something we need to work on. But overall, I think that the people wanted change and they voted for it."

Stoke-on-Trent South was held continuously by Labour from the seat's creation in 1950, until Jack Brereton (Conservative) was elected in 2017. Mr Brereton successfully defended the seat with an increased majority in 2019. 

But tonight, Labour's Allison Gardener (Labour) received 14,221 votes over Mr Brereton's 13,594, making her the new MP for Stoke-on-Trent South. 

She told the LDRS: "With the boundary changes, there are parts of Stoke-on-Trent South that have never had a Labour MP, but they have now given me five years to show them what we can do and make that difference. I think it means an awful lot.

"I think there's a lot of practical stuff we can do to make Stoke-on-Trent South a better place to live. Something that came up a lot on the doorsteps was public transport and buses – Labour wants to devolve power over buses back to local councils.

"We want to give multi-year settlements back to councils too so sensible long-term decisions can be made. That's something that Stoke-on-Trent South residents would see on a daily basis.

"My mind is already set on the next election. By that point people will need to have seen the difference a Labour MP can make, and that they can trust me going forward. That is my goal and I'm determined to do that."

Allison Gardner is the new MP for Stoke-on-Trent South (Nub News).
