Across Somerset Lib Dems have been making gains, increasing their hold on South Somerset, gaining Mendip where there was also a strong showing from the Greens and taking the newly formed Somerset district of Somerset West and Taunton. In Sedgemoor the Tories clung on but with a reduced majority as both Labour and Lib Dems made inroads into their vote.
In an election marked by Tory candidates hiding at home for fear their voters might spot them and an angry electorate often composing essays about Brexit on their ballot papers rather than voting with them the Lib Dems filled the void (with their own void) and where there was a historic Labour presence the reds marched on.
