Sir Jacob's former seat was also the 326th to be declared for Labour, confirming Sir Keir Starmer's absolute majority.

The former Brexit minister polled 15,420 votes, with Labour winning with 20,739 votes. Reform UK's candidate gained 7,424 votes, with the Liberal Democrats on 3,878 and the Greens on 3,222.

Speaking at the University of Bath after the result was declared, Sir Jacob said: “May I begin by giving my warmest congratulations to Dan Norris, who has been a servant of North East Somerset or Wansdyke as it then was before and I am sure will be a devoted constituency MP in the future.
“And congratulate Sir Keir Starmer, who has led his party to what seems to be a historic victory. And this is the great virtue of our democracy, so I congratulate both of them.”
