Emily Brothers has been selected for Labour for this new seat
She's up against Joe Robertson (Con), Vix Lowthion (Green), Michael Lilley (Lib Dem), and Sarah Morris (Reform).
Brothers was the Labour candidate for Sutton and Cheam in London in 2015, unsuccessfully sought the Labour nomination for the City of Chester by-election in 2021, and currently serves on Sandown town council on the Isle of Wight. She's also transgender and blind.
My instinct is that if the polls narrow between now and the election, this seat is most likely going to be a Conservative hold, but it has potential to flip in the event of a landslide election at least on the scale of 1997.
