Minor point, it’s Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross.
Norfolk has the sixth safest …. and the third least safe!! But note that the latter is now held by Simon Wright, the erstwhile agent in the former, who helped turn Norman’s 400 majority into a 10000 one between 2001 and 2005.
This year Frome was a very close run race. The Liberal candidate, Mr Heath, had promised to set a record by winning four successive elections with three-figure margins. However, in the end he held the seat but with a reduced majority.
