The seat covers [[Tynemouth]], [[North Shields]], [[Whitley Bay]], [[Cullercoats]], [[Monkseaton]] and, since 2010, [[Shiremoor]] and [[Backworth]]. [[North Shields]] and the communities along the Tyne itself tend to be more industrial and [[working-class]], once dominated by [[coal mining]] and [[shipbuilding]]. The coastal towns to the north, such as [[Whitley Bay]], tend to be more [[middle-class]] dormitory towns for Newcastle commuters. Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 close to the national average of 3.8%, at 3.9% of the population based on a statistical compilation by ''[[The Guardian]]'', lower than the regional average by 0.5%.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics Unemployment claimants by constituency] ''[[The Guardian]]''</ref> ==Political history== The seat has tended to be one of the more Conservative-leaning seats in the North East of England, where the party has traditionally struggled against the Labour Party. As a relatively middle-class area, it returned Conservative MPs from 1950 to 1997, albeit often on narrow majorities. It has been represented by Labour since 1997, though the Conservatives remain strong at a local level. Similar to [[Sefton Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Sefton Central]] on [[Merseyside]], despite being a traditionally strong Conservative area in a Labour-dominated county, the area has swung significantly to Labour during the twenty-first century, and has been won by semi-marginal to safe margins by Labour candidates at every general election since [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997]], with significant swings to Labour seen in both [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015]] and [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017]]. Since the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]], it has been represented by Alan Campbell of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]], who reached the level of government below a [[Minister of State]] in 2008, as a [[Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State]] for the [[Home Office]]. He is currently [https://labour.org.uk/people/shadow-cabinet/ Opposition Chief Whip] in the House of Commons. ==Members of Parliament== *''Constituency created'' ([[Redistribution of Seats Act
