Mr Hollinrake said: "I am very grateful to all those who voted for me and those who worked so hard to support my campaign. I will do everything I can to repay your faith and to make sure we rebuild as a decent, compelling centre-right alternative to the current government. Difficult times, but very confident that we will once again be seen as the party that offers opportunity, prosperity and security for all."

For Scarborough and Whitby, Alison Hume took the seat from the Conservative Party with 17,758 votes with the Conservative candidate Roberto Weeden-Sanz came in second place with 12,350 votes. The previous conservative MP Sir Robert Goodwill received 55 per cent of the vote at the last general election in 2019.

It is only the second time the coastal constituency has had a Labour MP and Ms Hume is the first woman to represent the area in parliament.

Ms Hume said she would work to win people’s trust and be an “effective MP for everybody,” conceding that “people who have voted for me tonight may not ordinarily have voted for Labour”. 

“Whether you live in Staithes or Scarborough, I want to get to know you better,” she added.

“We have a once-in-a-generation chance now to bridge that divide and reduce the inequality between North and South.” 

Ms Hume added: “I’m looking forward to working with our new mayor [David Skaith], the combined authority, and the people of Scarborough and Whitby to bring money back into the area and bring economic regeneration and start to champion the area.

“There’s so much potential here and we need to give our young people those careers in the green energy industry, the creative digital spaces, the jobs, and affordable houses to live in.”
