The late Cheryl Gillan, the coalition's first Welsh Secretary, had a majority of around 15,000 at the 2019 general election. Last night, that majority was more than overturned.
Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Westminster, writes:
We did it - we struck at the heart of the Conservatives’ blue wall and took one of their safest seats.
Liberal Democrats showed that we are a force to be reckoned with. We have a team to match anyone.
Sarah Green is going to be an outstanding Liberal Democrat MP for Chesham and Amersham, standing up for her constituents and holding the Government to account. I can’t wait to welcome her as my new colleague in the House of Commons.
This was never an easy election. We had a mountain to climb with the Tories riding high in the polls. It’s more than 100 years since there was a last a Liberal MP in Buckinghamshire.
