Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes have made this a significantly safer Labour seat. The party won it in 2019 with 48 per cent of the vote, with the Tories on 39 per cent, and Brexit Party 5.4 per cent. Under the new boundaries it would have been 58.4 per cent Labour, 28.2 per cent Conservative and five per cent Brexit Party.
