Andrew is clearly only referring to principal authorities, not town, parish or community councils. |

I'm surprised that Labour does not have a full slate of councillors in any Manchester constituency bearing in mind the party's extreme dominance locally.

They are mostly very close to it Blackley & Middleton South. Lab 20 Middleton Ind 1 Manchester Central. LAB 18 Ind 4 LD 2 Manchester Rusholme .

I suggest you go off and collate all the parish councillors in every constituency by party. Come back when you've finished. I'll make your task a bit easier by taking care of the 75 London constituencies. |

London has had a parish council since 2014. But parish-level authorities should never be confused with principal local authorities. |

Why are you erasing Chesham and Gerrards Cross parish councils then, both of which have Lib Dem councillors? |

Why are you erasing Chesham and Gerrards Cross parish councils then, both of which have Lib Dem councillors? I wasn’t aware of their existence. Is Gerrards Cross in the seat? Thought it was in Beaconsfield constituency. I’m far from erasing the seat. I thought LDs would win 2021. I actually know a parish councillor. In Wellingborough though not in Bucks. |

Part of Gerrards Cross is now in this constituency. Every single constituency in Britain (plus Welsh & Scottish parliamentary seats) has its own Wikipedia entry. Without any exception I've seen, they give the names of the wards, or sometimes also the areas, included in the seat, and they are generally kept up to date well.

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. I take your point here though. I was just being lazy. I didn't even check on Wellingborough. I just assumed Irchester was in. The laziness works sometimes of course. Often however, one gets found out. Researching posts takes time - useful though. |

In fact all of the town of Gerrards Cross is now in Chesham & Amersham, but there are some areas of the ward of that name (including part of Beaconsfield town) which are not. You are right that Wikipedia has a lot of this information, but it’s not always reliable on older information in particular. It still incorrectly claims that most of the one time Sheffield Ecclesall constituency is now in Sheffield Heeley. I would recommend www.parlconst.org |

Labour seats in 1997 they didn't win in 2024 (to the best of my knowledge):
Aberdeen North
Aberdeen South
Ashfield
Basildon South & Thurrock East
Birmingham, Perry Barr
Blackburn
Brighton, Pavilion
Dewsbury & Batley
Great Yarmouth
Harrow East
Hornchuch & Upminster
Islington North
Keighley & Ilkley
Leicester East
Leicester South
Newark
Norfolk North West
Romford
Staffordshire Moorlands
Stockton West
The Wrekin
Where else? Obviously I'm not including Wimbledon here because Coombe Hill wouldn't have voted Labour in 1997, but I wonder if given that Kingston & Surbiton had a decent Labour vote that year, might Labour have notionally won the seat? I believe most of the Labour strength in K&S came from Norbiton.

Labour would not have won the present Wrekin and Newark constituencies in 1997. Conversely, they would have won the 1997 version of Perry Barr and Staffordshire Moorlands this year (and presumably 1997's Basildon, though I'm not as familiar with that part of the country).
