Twitter and Facebook likes and followers for the Hartlepool candidates

Well, I have the figures for Twitter followers and Facebook likes for Hartlepool, as promised.

Twitter followers, plus net gain over seven days for the Hartlepool candidates.

Richard Tice (Brexit); 61,269 (+469)
Mike Hill (Labour); 2,397 (+108)
Kevin Cranney (SLP); 583 (+4)
Andy Hagon (LD); 86 (+3)
Joe Bousfield (Ind); 3 (+1)
Stefan Houghton (Con); 19 (+0)

(The Richard Tice gain figure is something of an approximation as the figure I had for last week was 60.8k. What with Twitter rounding the figures off and me stupidly using my phone to get the numbers. The Conservative number is for the Hartlepool Conservatives account. I couldn't find a specific candidate one. Likewise the Kevin Cranney number is for the Hartlepool Socialist Labour Party account.)

Facebook likes for the Hartlepool candidates now, again plus the net change over seven days.

Stefan Houghton (Con); 30 (+24)
Joe Bousfield (Ind); 336 (+19)
Kevin Cranney (SLP); 81 (+14)
Mike Hill (Lab); 1,356 (+10)
Richard Tice (BXP); 35,942 (+3)
Andy Hagon (LD); 13 (+0)

(The 13 for Andy Hagon is for the Hartlepool Liberal Democrats page.)

The lack of Facebook likes for Richard Tice was surprising. I wonder if this maybe has more to do with the national picture than the local one. It does highlight how well Faye Clememts has been doing on Facebook though. (+15) over the week, in very difficult circumstances.
