    Ben,

    The Tories ‘lost’ Solihull and Wells, although there were significant boundary changes in Solihull which under the old boundaries sent a LibDem MP.

    In the interests of fairness, I should point out that that Lib Dem volunteer arrested for damaging signs later went free, all charges having been dropped.

    Wells is one, and Solihull is notionally the other. According to the notional figures on ukpollingreport.co.uk, they are joined by Somerton & Frome.
