    Despite getting more than 60% of the vote he said:

    "You can't take people for granted and that's why I've worked it as hard as I can. If you take people for granted you will gradually get your vote whittled away which has not happened here yet."

    Mr Warman said 'I think we saw a very clear and total collapse in the UKIP vote here... I think it's a lazy assumption to assume that a constituency that backed leaving the EU would necessarily vote for a single issue pressure group."
