The man who has been covering for Grantham and Stamford MP Nick Boles while he’s been battling cancer won a seat in his own right.
In the Mansfield seat, Conservative candidate Ben Bradley ousted Labour MP Sir Alan Meale, who had held the seat for 30 years.
It is the first time in election history that Mansfield has turned blue.
Mr Bradley had been holding surgeries in the Grantham and Stamford constituency, while Mr Boles, who retained his seat, underwent treatment for cancer.
The Mansfield results in full:
Ben Bradley, The Conservative Party Candidate, 23,392
Alan Meale, Labour Party, 22,335
Sid Pepper, UK Independence Party (UKIP) 2,654
Meale has been on borrowed time for at least 5 years, you never see him out and about, you never see him in the HOC, he uses it as a meal ticket. He treats the people of this area with such disdain its unreal.
