Robert Waller wrote

During Labour's disastrous elections of the 1980s they fared particularly badly in the industrial East Midlands, but have since bounced back. Nottingham East is a mixed constituency with poor inner city neighbourhoods, council estates and comfortable suburbia, but the balance favours Labour, who should remain safe here, except in their worst years.
