List of MPs who share names with constituencies they don’t represent: Peter Bedford (Mid Leicestershire) Jessica Morden (Newport East) John Hayes (South Holland and the Deepings) Helen Hayes (Dulwich and West Norwood) Tom Hayes (Bournemouth East) Lincoln Jopp (Spelthorne) Cat Eccles (Stourbridge)
But aside from Chingford & Woodford Green; Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner; Harrow East and Croydon South, the swings in all these seats seem to have been chunky. In some cases (Spelthorne, Beaconsfield, SW Herts), the closest challenger was unclear. The incumbent will be sweating about next time. 2/3

Wokingham could go LD I think. Spelthorne is a good example of a problem constituency: Lab/LD very evenly split. Only LD have declared a candidate and there will be strong campaign to borrow Lab votes.
Important next step for the Spelthorne LP will be considered by the council next week. It has been a long, difficult process preparing a plan in a challenging local context (large proportion of LA under water & GB) & constantly changing national context! democracy.spelthorne.gov.uk/ieListDocume...

The former chancellor says it has been an "honour to serve the residents of Spelthorne since 2010".

Mr Kwarteng has an 18,393 majority in Spelthorne, in Surrey, told his constituency association on Monday that he would not fight the election: "It has been an honour to serve the residents of Spelthorne since 2010, and I shall continue to do so for the remainder of my time in Parliament."
Top Tory Kwasi Kwarteng was the architect of Liz Truss's calamitous mini-Budget, which send markets spiralling and triggered the end of her premiership after just 49 days in No10
Completely missed that Kwarteng represents Spelthorne! Famous to local govt finance affectionados for its bold debt-financed commercial real estate portfolio.
