Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes have made this seat safer for Labour than the old seat of Streatham. The party won the latter in 2019 with 54.8 per cent of the vote, with the Lib Dems on 23.5 per cent and Tories 16 per cent. The new seat would have been 57.9 per cent Labour, 18.8 per cent Conservative and 17.6 per cent Lib Dem.
