The Independent has the news:

A veteran Labour MP who was deselected by his party more than two years ago has announced that he would stand at the General Election as an independent.

Frank Cook, MP for Stockton North, attacked the Labour Party, saying it was no longer the party he joined nearly 60 years ago.

Philip Latham is the Liberal Democrat candidate in the seat.

Odd that the Lib Dem website that your link takes you to doesnt give the result of last time….

Incredibly, Philip Young, the party doesn’t believe in giving up on parts of the country where its support has historically been relatively low, even though it doesn’t enjoy massive funding in exchange for party offices, like other parties I could mention.
