Gedling MP Tom Randall will stand again at the next general election.
Mr Randall yesterday revealed he has been reselected by Gedling Conservatives as their candidate for Gedling.
The MP defeated the sitting Labour MP Vernon Coaker at the last election in 2019 – winning the seat with a majority of 1.4%, or 679 votes.
This victory made the seat one of the most marginal in the country.
Gedling had been a safe Tory seat until the 1997 election, before being won and held by Labour’s Vernon Coaker until 2019.
On his Facebook page, Mr Randall said: “As the first MP for Gedling from Gedling, it’s an honour to represent my home town in Parliament.
“I look forward to making the Conservative case at the next General Election and continuing to deliver on Gedling’s priorities.”
Mr Randall will face competition for the seat from Micheal Payne, who has been selected Labour’s candidate for Gedling.
After being selected last year, Mr Payne said: “The people of Gedling, along with many other areas, have suffered for too long at the hands of this Conservative government and have felt the impact of the cuts to public services and the cost of living crisis.
“The fight to win Gedling back for Labour starts now.”
You needn’t bother as we won’t vote for you. Waste of time & money!
I won’t vote for any of ’em; they do nothing for the working – class, in fact all the parties despise them – Labour being the worst.
In spite of all the shouting in parliament, all the mainstream parties agree on virtually everything. Democracy is a sham.
Thanks Tom for doing nothing for netherfield just full of promises and bull shit
if he’s two faced how many chins has he got?
I am aware that politicians get slated in all directions, but credit where it is due. Tom Randall has helped us with a major financial issue, which we struggled to solve ourselves. It was only with Tom’ s intervention that we got the problem solved. We are very grateful for his help.
You must be from arnold then Tom’s favorite place or be more precise
When’s the best time to see Randall? when it’s election time!!!
