    Re-elected Chesterfield MP Toby Perkins, says he is "thrilled" with the result.

    "The size of the swing was a huge endorsement of our campaign," the Labour member said.

    "There is a basic distrust of politics right now, which is a challenge.

    "It's my job to spend this next five years looking to rebuild that."

    "We need a government that simply does what it says it was going to do," he continued.

    "The programme that Keir Starmer put forward was ambitious but I think it is realistic."

  5. 'Historic result' in Derbyshire Dalespublished at 07:08 5 July

    The Derbyshire Dales victory for Labour's John Whitby was won by just 250 votes.

    Labour's new MP secured 17,759 votes to incumbent Sarah Dines' 17,409.

    Mr Whitby, accepting his narrow win in Derbyshire Dales, said: "We have an historic result here in Derbyshire Dales I think for three reasons.

    "Firstly the country was desperate to rid itself of the Conservative government that has fought itself and fought against the interests of its people.

    "Because of endless austerity, our highly valued public services need resuscitating, our councils are facing bankruptcy, and the behaviour of Tory politicians has reached new lows."

    John Whitby

    "The second reason is that under Keir Starmer the Labour party is once again rightly seen as a decent, stable and progressive party of government," he said.

    "The third reason is we had an army of incredible volunteers who have been out every day of the campaign.

    "This result has completed a clean sweep for Labour in Derbyshire."

    Derby South's veteran MP Margaret Beckett will be leaving the House of Commons but she has told the BBC she has been given a peerage so will not be leaving politics.

    Speaking after her seat was held by Labour's Baggy Shanker, Beckett said: "I feel very pleased, it means that I will still have some roots in Westminster."

    Dame Margaret Beckett

    She continued: "I wanted to be able to do something in politics without having to stay in the House of Commons.

    "I think it's time to move on from there. I'm delighted that my successor has been elected and I'm very grateful for being given this opportunity."

    First elected in 1974, Beckett was the first woman to serve as foreign secretary and the first woman to briefly serve as Labour leader.

    Originally elected in Lincoln, she has served as a Derby MP since 1983.

    Bolsover's newly-elected MP Natalie Fleet, from Labour, says "I'm shocked, thrilled, excited, it's exciting to be the first female MP for Bolsover.

    "2019 was tough, it felt very different. This time people have been very pleasant even when they haven't been voting for us, kind on the doors.

    "I even took my 10-year-old daughter out canvassing with me which was just lovely.

    "I have not taken this job on because it is easy. Nobody in the Labour party is under any illusion.

    "The Tories have decimated public services, people who have never struggled before are struggling incredibly. But we do have a plan."

    Louise Jones, the new MP for North East Derbyshire, has been speaking to me about her win.

    She said: "It's testament to all the hard work our team's put in. We knocked on thousands of doors and had conversations about the same thing.

    "They wanted that change, they wanted to get our future back.

    "We've got plans to get those 13,000 extra police officers, we've got plans to free up NHS space by getting people out of hospitals into social care settings. We've got big plans for our first 100 days."

    Conservative Lee Rowley, who vacates his seat after seven years, told me: "The voters get to say and this is democracy.

    "If I have in any tiny way been able to help North East Derbyshire to progress, to get better, I'll be happy."
