and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Unlike most other seats in the city, Liverpool West Derby has historically longer been held by the Conservatives than Labour.
Between 1885 and 1965, the seat was strongly blue before becoming a beacon of Labour support ever since. Between 2010 and 2019, it was held by the man responsible for one of the most famous moments in modern British politics, with Stephen Twigg - who beat then cabinet minister Michael Portillo in 1997 - the area’s MP having lost his original constituency eight years later.
