Jul 4, 2024, 11:21 PM
Former justice secretary Sir Robert Buckland has lost his Swindon South seat to Labour's Heidi Alexander in a significant swing during the UK election. Labour secured 21,676 votes (48.4%), while the Conservatives garnered 12,070 votes (26.9%), resulting in a majority of 9,606 for Alexander. This marks a 16% swing to Labour, with the Conservative vote down by 25 percentage points. Swindon South, a bellwether seat since 1983, has historically backed the winning party.
