  17. State of play in Oxfordshirepublished at 09:37 BST 5 July 2024

    The Liberal Democrats have done well in Oxfordshire, with Freddie van Mierlo winning Henley and Thame, Charlie Maynard securing Witney, Calum Miller winning Bicester and Woodstock and Olly Glover being elected in Didcot and Wantage.

    The party's Layla Moran held her seat in Oxford West and Abingdon.

    Labour's Sean Woodcock won in Banbury, whilst Anneliese Dodds held her seat in Oxford East.

    There are now no Conservative MPs holding any seats in Oxfordshire.

  18. Lib Dems make history in Witneypublished at 08:44 BST 5 July 2024

    As Conservative Robert Courts made a hasty exit, new Witney MP Charlie Maynard (pictured centre, wearing a suit and yellow tie) was seen hugging his ecstatic Lib Dem colleagues after finishing his victory speech.

    Witney hasn’t voted in any party other than the Conservatives since the seat was created in 1983, and despite the exit poll indicating the Tories would hold it, the seat now belongs to the Lib Dems.

    In the end it was comprehensive, with more than 4,000 votes between the two parties.

    Witney could not have been clearer - it’s time for a change.

  20. 'A historic night for the Lib Dems' in Oxfordshirepublished at 07:20 BST 5 July 2024

    Liberal Democrat candidate Calum Miller beamed as he heard the vote numbers read out for the new Bicester & Woodstock seat.

    In a very fiercely fought contest, he had done enough to become the constituency's first ever MP.

    He said it was an "historic night for Oxfordshire" and an "historic night for the Lib Dems".

    It certainly seems he has been part of a yellow wave that has swept across the county during this election.

    The party now holds five of the seven seats here - previously it held one.

    Even more significantly, the Conservatives now do not hold a single seat in Oxfordshire.

    With much of the county firmly in the "blue wall" previously, that really is a big moment.
