ANTI-chat line campaigner Terry Lewis is back at Westminster.

The new-look Worsley Constituency - which now includes half of Atherton through boundary chages - gave him a resounding vote of confidence by increasing his already substantial majority to over 17,000.

And he told suppporters at the Little Hulton High School count: "I'll be there - shoulder to shoulder to make sure that Worsley gets a crack at what's going on."

Dismissing the Tories, he told cheering supporters: "Good riddance to 'em!"

Tory Damien Garrido had his suppport slashed by 8,000 votes, while Atherton clerk Robert Bleakley saw his Lib Dem vote hold up. WORSLEY
