This is slightly the more strongly Labour of the two St Helens seats. It contains the bulk of this tough working-class industrial town and, unlike its neighbour, St Helens North, it contains no Tory wards. St Helens is a town of fixed and traditional tastes, conservative with a small 'c' and Labour with a big 'L'. Sitting MP Gerry Birmingham's large five-figure majority seems secure.
