Keighley, Leicester East... Yep, I should have said ‘from the top of my head’ Scottish seats too but it's a task going through notional boundaries. |

And, in the same neck of the woods, The Wrekin.

Is there a list of seats that were Labour in 1997 but are now held by the Tories? I can only think of the top of my head here and Newark (unfortunately in the case of the latter) The others going into this that I thought might have been near misses were Cannock Chase, Mansfield, etc but they got them! Castle Point and Romford were another two |

Dumfries & Galloway
Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale
Berwickshire, Roxburgh & Selkirk
Stockton West
Tatton
Keighley & Ilkley
Brigg & Immingham
Newark
Leicester East
Staffordshire Moorlands
The Wrekin
Wyre Forest
Hereford & South Herefordshire
North West Norfolk
Braintree
Castle Point
Romford
Hornchurch & Upminster
Harrow East
Torridge & Tavistock
