This was relatively speaking one of the better Conservative results in the Home Counties to hold here by 1,590. The new MP has an impressive backstory and has won the MC. He strikes me as one worth keeping an eye on.I doubt whether Kwasi Kwarteng would have even won it.

Can't be that many places now that was won by Labour in the 1945 landslide but not in 1997 or 2024.

Not quite in this category is Bridgwater. This was held by Vernon Bartlett from a by-election in 1938 through to 1950. He was elected as an independent progressive (Popular Front) and subsequently as Common Wealth Party. He joined the Labour Party when he stood down in 1950.
