 The constituency is a safe Tory seat.

National interest in the seat centres on the fact that Mayor of London Boris Johnson is hoping to return to Parliament as its Conservative candidate

Boris is standing as an MP for the second time, having previously served as the MP for Henley.

He’s expected to be elected by a very large majority and exit polls are predicting conservative gains across the country.
