Given the renewed chat around Ben Wallace as a candidate to be NATO's next Secretary General, just thought we'd take a look at what happens to his seat under the boundary review. Now you see it. Then you don't.

The Brexit Party, the previous name for the Reform UK party, came second in two seats at the 2019 general election: Barnsley South, where they've selected David White. And Barnsley North, where they are yet to select a candidate.

There are *so many* differences between the MRP models we've had over the last day or so. The Green results are a microcosm... They win 3 new seats with Ipsos, losing the 1 they hold. They do the complete opposite with More In Common. And they win 2 with YouGov (1 gain, 1 hold)
