In reply to the discussion: Who's your MP? [View all]LeftishBrit
(41,303 posts)58. Oxfordshire results interesting
As predicted, my MP Layla Moran (Lib Dem, Oxford West and Abingdon) kept her seat comfortably, as did Anneliese Dodds (Labour, Oxford East).
More surprisingly, Labour won 'safe ' Tory Banbury, and the Lib Dems won 'safe' Tory seats in Henley; Didcot and Wantage; the new seat of Bicester and Woodstock; AND WITNEY- yes, the Tories lost David Cameron's old seat. His arch-Brexiteer successor, Robert Courts, or, as I call him, Robert Courts-Disaster, has finally courted his own disaster.
Not a single Oxfordshire seat remains in Tory hands. Even in 1997, 4 out of 6 seats had Tory MPs.
