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.
