Liverpool Walton is one of the safest Labour seats in the country but is enthusiasm on the decline?
The battles between blue and red in Liverpool Walton have previously been limited to the spars between the city’s two major football teams.Politically however, there has never been much of a contest with Labour’s red rosette fully in bloom in what was deemed the one of the safest seats in the country during the 2019 general election . Dan Carden romped home for a second term with 85% of the vote and a majority of 30,000.
In its shadow sits the home of Everton FC, Goodison Park, among famous and heralded terraced streets that have become synonymous with a way of life in the city. Walking from the Black Horse pub at one end to the Thomas Frost at the other just short of a mile away, you would be forgiven for thinking the general election hadn’t been called.
“Nothing’s going to change, they’re all the same. I’d like to say I’d go Labour but nothing gets better. Directly across the road on Formosa Drive is the Fazakerley Community Federation and library and community hub. Jamie Stinchcomb, who helps run the Fazakerley Morris Dancing group at the centre, said a future Labour government was what the country needed.
