GENERAL ELECTION VIDEO: Gloria De Piero retains Ashfield seat for Labour
Labour’s Gloria De Piero easily retained the Ashfield seat on a desperately disappointing night for the party nationally.
Ms De Piero, the Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities, secured a massive majority of 8,820 when results were announced in Kirkby.
Conservative Helen Harrison was second with 10,628 votes and UKIP’s Simon Ashcroft third with 10,150.
