Unlike Brighton, which we heard about earlier, the coastal towns of England and Wales have been fertile ground for the Conservatives for well over a decade.

But exclusive polling for Channel 4 News, conducted before Rishi Sunak’s D-Day debacle, shows Labour now leading in these so-called Sea Wall constituencies - by 20 points.

In the first of a series on these seaside towns, Kiran Moodley has been to Bournemouth – which has never returned a Labour MP.

    If you don't vote then you have no right to complain

    refusing to vote... Yet they claim to be sad for the youth... Embarrassing.
  • @mathewlowe2551
    The country is in a state, so I won't vote. Yes that is how we change things.
  • @KIRKD
    “I feel bad for the youth” Then admits to having always voted Conservative. Jesus Christ
  • @sphughes01
    I'm not going to vote because the country's in a mess. WTF. Have people like her got no compassion and concern for others. So selfish!
  • @themills23
    I live in Bournemouth. I despair that my neighbours might vote Tory again.
  • @Knappa22
    This is why we’ve got to go out and VOTE THE TORIES OUT. This is what they rely on. Millions of people staying at home while a whole load of coffin dodgers in places like Bournemouth doggedly go out and vote or fill in a postal ballot for the Tories. We mustn’t be complacent.
  • I made the mistake of voting Conservative once, and that was for Mrs T on the occasion of her first term as P.M. I NEVER voted Conservative again, and I see no reason to alter that policy now.

    Anyone got a spare Sky box and dish they don’t want ?
  • A very selfish woman who refuses to because "the country is in a mess" She voted for Cameron she is the reason 😢
  • @DDougz

  • Only 650 Billion in debt in 2010 with AAA credit rating. Now in 2024 we are 2.75 Trillion in dent with an Aa3 credit rating.
  • @matthewbell3020
    stop trying to make "sea wall" happen, coastal towns is fine...
  • Anyone with knowledge of economics and the ability to apply critical thought would not vote Tory. They have repeatedly borrowed more and paid back less than Labour since 1947. As for Reform, the tinpot racists with a leader who said that Truss had delivered the best Conservative budget since 1986...we know where that would go for anyone but the richest 1%.
  • @wessexfox5197
    It’s got a lot more younger people and voters now than it used to. I think that Bournemouth will go Labour and due to demographics probably never go Tory again.

    3:25 "I want to give [Kier Starmer] a chance." After seeing the apathy of other voters, I'll take it.👏
