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.

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.

Penny Mordaunt lost in Portsmouth North while Tobias Ellwood also lost his Bournemouth East seat.

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.

Since the seat was created in 1885 - Banbury has never elected a Labour MP.

That is, until now.

Labour candidate Sean Woodcock - who has lost twice standing in this seat previously - just after 6am heard the magic numbers that confirmed he is the new MP for Banbury.

He unseated former Attorney General Victoria Prentis, in what had previously been considered a very safe Tory seat.

It means Oxfordshire will now send two Labour MPs to parliament - along with what looks like a handful of Liberal Democrats. We are waiting for the Bicester & Woodstock result to see if the Conservatives will have any MPs in the county.

The Lib Dems' Olly Glover has won the Didcot and Wantage constituency.

The previous MP for Didcot, David Johnston, lost by more than 6,000 votes.

The victory means the Lib Dems now hold four seats in Oxfordshire, up from just holding Layla Moran's seat of Oxford West and Abingdon on Thursday.

In Banbury, Labour has won the seat for the first time.

Victoria Prentis, the former attorney general and Banbury MP, has lost her seat to Labour's Sean Woodcock.

Mr Woodcock, the Labour group leader on Cherwell District Council, won 18,468 votes, with Mrs Prentis second with 15,212 votes.

The Lib Dems' Freddie van Mierlo is the new MP for Henley and Thame, beating the Conservatives' Caroline Newton by more than 6,000 votes.

It is a new constituency for this general election - but the previous seat Henley was held by Boris Johnson - before he became prime minister, between 2001 and 2008 - and Tory grandee Michael Heseltine.

Other Labour councillors have been victorious elsewhere.

Former cabinet member Antonia Bance, an Oxford city councillor from 2010 until 2013, has been elected MP for Tipton and Wednesbury in the West Midlands.

Perran Moon, who sat on Cherwell District Council from 2019 until May 2023, is now the MP for Camborne and Redruth in Cornwall.

Two former Oxford city councillors have become Labour MPs.

Tom Hayes, Oxford City Council's former deputy leader, resigned from the authority in March. He beat Conservative Tobias Ellwood in Bournemouth East by about 5,400 votes.

Marie Tidball, who was also another cabinet member and resigned from the council in 2022, is the new MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge in Yorkshire.

She beat Conservative Miriam Cates by about 8,700 votes.
