Another substantial gain – this time in South Cambridgeshire, which we have had our eyes on for many years. Pippa Heylings takes the seat from the Conservatives with a 10k majority.
Down in the South West Martin Wrigley has taken Newton Abbot – formerly a solid Conservative seat.
Back in Cambridgeshire Ian Sollom also took St Neots and Mid Cambs from the Tories.
And down in Eastbourne the town has returned to the Lib Dems – well done to Josh Babarinde who takes it with a 12,000 majority.
We have just heard that we have also regained Cheadle from the Conservatives – another seat lost in 2015. This time thanks go to Tom Morrison who achieved another 12,000 majority.
And well done to Clive Jones in Wokingham – John Redwood’s seat since 1987 – now Lib Dem.
