Ms Voaden said: “I'm thrilled. I'm humbled. I'm honoured. I'm really proud of the campaign we've run. It's been inspirational. So many people came together who had never fought a general election campaign before.

“It's been amazing, friendly and positive. It's been great but exhausting.,“ she said, after admitting the scale of her victory had surprised her.

Reform UK candidate Michael Bagley polled 6,363 votes, reflecting the national sentiment with huge swings to the party to the detriment of the Conservatives.
