Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has been defeated by Labour’s Dan Norris in the new North East Somerset and Hanham constituency, in yet another blow for the Conservative Party.

The 55-year-old Arch-Brexiteer was elected as the MP for North East Somerset in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 – when he achieved 50.4% of the vote and had a majority of 14,729.

But he has now been unseated by Labour’s West of England mayor Dan Norris, who won 20,739 votes compared to 15,420 for Sir Jacob. Turnout for the poll was 69.38%.

Sir Jacob, a father-of-six, congratulated both Mr Norris and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who he said he “led his party to what seems to be a historic victory”.
