Created from Southend

Southend West and Leigh is a constituency [n 1] in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. In the 2024 general election the seat was won by David Burton-Sampson for Labour. [2] It was previously held by Anna Firth who won the 2022 by-election, [3] following the murder of the incumbent MP, David Amess. [4] [n 2]

Contents

Prior to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency was known as Southend West up until the 2024 general election. [5]

History

The constituency was created for the 1950 general election under the Representation of the People Act 1948, when the Parliamentary Borough of Southend-on-Sea was split in two.

From its creation until 2024, the seat was held by the Conservative Party, with majorities ranging from 5.7% during the Labour Landslide of 1997 to 43.4% in 1955 until the 2024 general election when it was won by Labour with a 35.6% share. [6] [7] It had historically been seen by pundits as a safe Conservative seat.

Because four members of the Guinness family have held the seat (or its predecessor, Southend) it has been dubbed in political analyses in the media as "Guinness-on-Sea". [8]

The seat was represented by David Amess for 24 years, from 1997 to 15 October 2021, when he was murdered. [4] Amess was previously the MP for Basildon from 1983. A by-election was held to elect a replacement MP. In a similar vein to the subsequent by-election following the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox in 2016, all major contender parties stated they would not field candidates in opposition to the Conservative nominee. [9]

It is bounded to the north and east by Rochford and Southend East, to the north by Rayleigh and Wickford, to the west by Castle Point, and to the south by the very end of the Thames Estuary.
