Kerry constituency profile: No Labour candidate for first time in 87 years

The passing of the deadline for nominations confirmed that for the first time in 87 years, the Labour Party has no candidate on the ballot paper in Kerry for a general election.

For almost 30 years, in terms of Kerry politics, we have spoken of the Spring dynasty, and it is a real reflection of the low ebb in which Labour finds itself when it cannot even stand a candidate in the Kingdom.
