Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes have made this a less safe seat for Labour than Hammersmith but the Tories still don’t look like a serious threat. Labour won Hammersmith in 2019 with 57.9 per cent of the vote, with the Conservatives on 23.5 per cent, and Lib Dems 13.4 per cent. Under the new boundaries it would have been 50.8 per cent Labour, 30.5 per cent Tory and 13.9 per cent Lib Dem.
