Voters in Clwyd North have gone to the ballot box to elect their MP in the General Election 2024. And the new constituency was claimed by Gill German (Labour) who polled 14,794 of the votes, with Darren Millar in second place on 13,598. The results followed a great night for Labour at the ballot box and an awful night for the Conservatives.

Labour seats fell across the region to the Tories, during the 2019 General Election - as Boris Johnson led the charge on the back of his "Get Brexit Done" campaign. But last night the red wall was rebuilt across North Wales and the UK, as the Tory vote crumbled.

Clwyd North is a new constituency created out of two former Tory held seats. It will be made up of 69.8% of the former Clwyd West constituency, represented by David Jones, who is retiring this election.

The rest is made up of the old Vale of Clwyd seat (64.1%) which is being abolished. It includes parts of Rhyl, Abergele, Denbigh, Towyn and Rhuddlan.

It means Rishi Sunak’s term as Prime Minister looks set to end in electoral disaster, with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK establishing a foothold in Parliament and the Liberal Democrats forecast to make gains.

The exit poll suggests Labour is on course for 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131. The Liberal Democrats are forecast to win 61 seats, Reform UK on 13 and the Green Party two.

Plaid Cymru are on course to win four seats while in Scotland, the SNP are expected to secure 10 seats on a bad night for them.

Suella Braverman says 'idiotic strategy' led Conservatives to worst-ever election defeat
Suella Braverman has issued a scathing verdict as to why the Conservatives lost the election, blaming Rishi Sunak for pursuing an "idiotic strategy" that treated voters like "mugs". In an intervention that will be seen as her teeing up a potential leadership bid, the former home secretary said her party "failed in office and deserved this result". The former home secretary - who retained her seat of Fareham and Waterlooville but with a much-reduced majority - blamed "high taxes" and "high immigration" as well as "insane political correctness" she believed the party had embraced for the scale of the defeat.

Starmer’s great weakness is being revealed

Most significant is the return of Alan Milburn, Blair’s health secretary, who will advise his successor, Wes Streeting, on reform of the NHS.
