A five way race has been declared for the Bedworth and North Warwickshire seat in Parliament. The full list of candidates have been revealed for the forthcoming General Election to decide who will represent the voice of people in Bedworth, Atherstone and the surrounding villages.

The seat has been held by the Conservative Party since 2010, initially by Dan Byles before Craig Tracey in 2015. He then held the seat for the next nine years, winning the last local election in 2019.

But he will face competition from the Green Party, the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats and also Reform UK, who all have candidates standing for the seat.

The Bedworth and North Warwickshire count is traditionally held at Coleshill Leisure Centre. The results are expected to be declared at around 3am on Friday, July 5.

Guy Burchett - Liberal Democrats
Paul Hopkins - Reform UK
Rachel Taylor - Labour Party

Sunak may have made the biggest electoral mistake in British history
When the history of this election campaign comes to be written, one question will perplex the compilers more than any other: why now?

The Tories have abandoned the one thing that made them electable
The outcome of the general election is now considered such a foregone conclusion that the post-mortem examination is being conducted while the corpse is still twitching.

Trump has spent months painting Biden as incompetent. Now he's changing his tone before the debate
After months of casting President Joe Biden as a shell of a man incapable of putting two sentences together, Donald Trump has changed his tune days before their first debate. The changed rhetoric marks a dramatic shift from how Trump typically describes the man he will face in a rematch this November. At his rallies and in speeches, Trump typically casts the Democratic incumbent as a “low-IQ individual” who is “the worst, most incompetent, and most corrupt president” in the nation’s history, and often imitates Biden appearing lost on stage.

‘Their manifesto is like a wishlist’: How Reform seduced Gen Z
Nathan Hobbs has been arguing with his sister about politics lately. She is 22, has a progressive outlook and, like most young voters, is likely to vote either Labour or Liberal Democrat at the General Election. Nathan, a 19-year-old student, disagrees with her and doesn’t fit the mould of much of his peer group either. He is planning to vote Reform UK on July 4. “There’s a real split [between us],” he says of the siblings’ divergence in political opinion. “She dislikes Nigel Farage.”

For intolerant Farage supporters, grown-up debate has clearly become a farce
Much heartened by the onslaught of criticism I’ve been receiving from Telegraph readers, I am returning to the subject of one of Clacton’s parliamentary candidates. Two weeks ago I got myself into a vat of boiling oil for saying we should turn our heads to the wall from Mr Farage’s sort of bitter and divisive populism. My column was greeted with such outrage and affront that I knew I was onto something.
