- 18:5218:52, 25 May 2024 diff hist +718 Solihull (UK Parliament constituency) Doesn't make sense to call it a LD hold in 2010 and then in the next sentence acknowledge it was actually a gain. By all means keep the explanation (the seat kept its name and there would be legitimate confusion otherwise) but if boundary changes alter a result then it's not an academic aside.
- 18:4218:42, 25 May 2024 diff hist +29 Staffordshire Moorlands (UK Parliament constituency) Doesn't make sense to call it a gain and then in the next sentence acknowledge "most" sources consider it a hold. By all means keep the explanation (the seat kept its name and there would be legitimate confusion otherwise) but if boundary changes alter a result it's not an academic aside.
- 18:3418:34, 25 May 2024 diff hist +649 Sittingbourne and Sheppey (UK Parliament constituency) Prototypically small shift, but given 05-10 boundary changes I think it's a lot clearer to list as a hold and include an explanatory note in the main text than to list as a gain and add an easily overlooked note which talks about "media organisations" as though boundary changes are academic. The consensus is that it was a Tory seat already and that's what the article should reflect.

(And given how similar the Tory 2019 and Labour 1997 shares are, also a good-faith attempt at the most balanced framing possible.)
