The industrial city of Stoke in Staffordshire, famed for its potteries, and surrounded by an old coalfield, may well be the most favourable city in England for the Labour party. As a percentage of the vote, Hull polled more in 1992, but Stoke has returned a full slate of three Labour member since 1945 - a unique record. Its bleak industrial landscape offers little refuge for the Tories. The Central constituency contains poor working-class areas and much of Stoke's small (4 per cent) ethnic population. MP Mark Fisher has a safe seat here for as long as he wishes.
