LD gain from Conservative - a 17-point gap in 2021 reversed to a 1.7% lead for the Liberal Democrats so a swing of just over 9% and a majority of 87 on a decent 43.2% turnout.

Again...

Given what they threw at this seat and what we had, it was a huge result for SI Elliot Jayes.

The particular Tory candidate took this seat by 60 votes, and the 3rd borough seat in Queenborough by 14 votes...

All of which is a huge improvement on his 2019 Borough result where he was elected to the 2nd Borough seat in Teynham by 5 votes - again over a Swale Indie...
