The Labour Party won the 2024 General Election, securing more than 400 seats, while the Conservatives have seen huge losses across the country. Labour has gained many formerly Tory seats, including Boris Johnson’s old seat in Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
Chelsea & Fulham have also returned a Labour MP for the first time in the constituency’s history, as Greg Hands was ousted by Labour’s Ben Coleman. The results were so close a recount was demanded, and the final result was declared at 6.30am.
