Hide AdDavid Hide, chair of the Horsham Labour Party, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Rosie to Horsham, her win will go down in history as the moment the country turned its back on austerity and the divisive and destructive policies of Theresa May’s Conservatives.
“Our members will take inspiration from Rosie victory and we will now redouble our efforts to take the fight to the Tories here in Horsham.”
Horsham’s Tory MP Jeremy Quin was re-elected earlier this year with 59.5 per cent of votes cast, but Labour candidate Susannah Brady increased her party’s share of the vote from 11.4 to 21.7 per cent.
