Robert Waller wrote

Newcastle Upon Tyne East and Wallsend is comprised of areas with a long-standing tradition of loyalty to Labour. The best known landmark in the constituency is the famous Byker Wall, a strikingly modern development of local authority housing. The Conservatives only attract around one in four electors, leaving Labour with a very strong grip.
