Labour’s Olivia Bailey has taken Reading West and Mid Berkshire, beating the Conservatives’ Ross Mackinnon by 1,361 votes.

It's a new constituency and has been created from parts of the Reading West, Newbury and Wokingham seats.

Conservative candidate for Windsor, Jack Rankin, said it has been “a tough night” for the party, adding “it’s our fault”.

“The Conservative Party has lost the trust of millions of people nationally and we’ve got no one to blame other than ourselves,” he said.

“It’s fair to say we have lost this election rather than Labour has won it.”

He said the party has “drifted from its core values” and suffered as a result of “errors” including the D-Day incident.

Liberal Democrat Lee Dillon has won the Newbury seat, replacing Conservative Laura Farris, who has been in the seat since 2019.

Mr Dillon was previously the leader of West Berkshire Council but resigned to campaign to win the seat.

Conservative candidate and former MP for Newbury Laura Farris says it has been a “disappointing night” for the party.

“When you take a heavy defeat you need to obviously really, really carefully reflect on what’s gone wrong,” she tells BBC Radio Berkshire.

She says she thinks some of the infighting in the party in recent years “made it look like politics was not in the service of the public”, which made things difficult, particularly for new MPs.

She adds it is “important there’s a change of government from time to time” in pluralistic societies.

The new Labour MP for Earley and Woodley, Yuan Yang, says she is "tremendously happy" with the result.

As a former Financial Times journalist and economist, she told BBC Radio Berkshire that Labour's - and her - top priority is tackling the cost of living and "getting the economy back on track".
