Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): The new seat of Queen’s Park and Maida Vale is a safer Labour constituency than the old Westminster North. Labour won the latter in 2019 with 54.2 per cent of the vote, 29.1 per cent for the Tories, and 13 per cent for the Lib Dems. The new constituency would have been 61.9 per cent Labour, 19.8 per cent Conservative, and 13.9 per cent Lib Dem.
