The Alyn and Deeside seat in the 2024 general election is being expanded to include part of the Delyn constituency for general elections from 2024 and beyond. The former Alyn and Deeside seat is Labour, Delyn turned Conservative in 2019 and Rob Roberts represented it as an independent after losing the Conservative whip in 2021.

The boundaries of all but one Welsh seat have changed ahead of the 2024 election, only Ynys Mon (the island of Anglesey) remains untouched, all others have seen changes which could impact the results on election night. You can read the background to the changes here.

Instead of 40 constituencies, there are now 32 in Wales and the idea behind it is to make all Westminster constituencies the same size. Using figures from electoral calculus, we can see how this constituency is changing. It is all the former Alyn and Deeside constituency, and 23.1% of Delyn seat.

Where does the constituency cover?

It includes areas such as Broughton, Connah's Quay Golftyn, Sealand, Shotton Higher, Shotton West and Treuddyn as well as Bagillt East, Bagillt West. Flint Castle, Flint Coleshill, Flint Oakenholt and Flint Trelawny.

Goodbye, Galloway. This was a triumph for Israel
British politics has hardly covered itself in glory in recent years. After the shame of the Corbyn years was punctured by the glorious Tory victory of 2019, we were subjected to a veritable gallery of disgrace: soaring immigration, Covid authoritarianism, Partygate, the Truss-Kwarteng interregnum, Gaza fanaticism. But the true nadir was the election of George Galloway in Rochdale.

UK left-wing maverick Galloway loses his parliamentary seat
Veteran left-wing political maverick George Galloway lost his parliamentary seat in Britain's election on Friday, defeated by the Labour candidate in the northern English town of Rochdale. Galloway had served for just four months after winning a by-election triggered by the death of the town's previous lawmaker. Back in March, Galloway's pro-Palestinian campaign helped him win votes from the town's Muslim community and he secured what was his seventh stint as a lawmaker, representing his left-wing Workers Party of Britain.
