Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes make this slightly less of a Labour seat than Camberwell and Peckham. This old constituency was won by Labour in 2019 with 71.3 per cent of the vote, with the Tories getting 11.5 per cent, and Lib Dems nine per cent. Under the new boundaries, it would have been 70.8 per cent Labour, 11.2 per cent Conservative and 10.4 per cent Lib Dem.
