Well, Ed Davey’s record was short lived. Munira Wilson has held on to her Twickenham seat with a massive 21,000 majority!
Huge congratulations to Marie Goldman who took Chelmsford from the Conservatives with a good majority! This is the first time we have won that seat.
Then there is Steve Darling in Torbay, who turns the town orange again, following a challenging campaign.
And Lisa Smart in Hazel Grove (back with us at last!).
Bobby Dean regains Carshalton and Wallington – another seat we lost in 2015.
They are just announcing that we have regained Cheltenham, one of our top target seats, as well – well done to Max Wilkinson!
And now Sutton & Cheam returns to the Lib Dems with Luke Taylor.
Now Sarah Olney matches Ed Davey’s majority in her seat of Richmond Park.
And we have gained Stratford on Avon for the first time – previously held by Nadhim Zahawi with a huge majority. Welcome to Manuela Perteghella!
Congratulations to all our new MPs – 1r so far.
