The Boundary review, which was embargoed, has been leaked. Here are some immediate headlines from the proposals:
George Osborne’s Tatton seat appears to have been abolished, though you imagine he’ll have little difficulty in finding anohter.
After much speculation that his Twickenham seat would be subsumed, Vince Cable may have survived. The new seat covers what appears cover to be a fair tranche of his current area, but it’s not exactly clear. Either way, Cable is someone you’d expect to find another berth if necessary.
Zac Goldsmith’s Richmond Park seat has been reworked, inheriting some wards from Lib Dem held Twickenham, and may now be a tougher proposition to hold.
Ed Miliband’s minions, Chuka Umanna and Sadiq Khan, might fight over a new seat in Streatham and Tooting.
