Before the ‘tsunami’ exit poll predicting a Conservative landslide hit the headlines, it was thought that the win for Bolton West could have gone either way.

The Conservatives’ Chris Green has hung onto Bolton West’s seat since 2015, but only by a fine line, having won by less than 1,000 votes and a 1.8% majority.

One of the biggest issues nationally going into this General Election is the challenge facing the next government navigating through Brexit negotiations.

In the 2015 general election, Bolton West was the Conservatives’ number one target seat and a formidable campaign led to a surprise victory over the incumbent Labour MP Julie Hilling.

Bolton West MP Julie Hilling is backing the British Heart Foundation’s push to make it compulsory for children to learn life-saving skills in school.
