In her victory speech, Sackman said that under Jeremy Corbyn “the Labour Party had lost its way. In particular, it let down the Jewish community.”
She added, “the Labour Party needed to change and under Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership it has changed.”
Sackman will succeed Mike Freer, the Conservative Justice Minister who held the seat for 14 years and stepped down following from Parliament before the general election because of death threats and an arson attack on his local office.
Reacting to the result, Deane posted on Twitter: “Not the result we’d hoped for but I’m proud to have been the candidate for @Finchleytories. Thanks to everyone who helped the campaign. Many congratulations to @sarahsackman who will be a great MP for a great part of our city.”
