They are the areas that gave Boris Johnson his majority in 2019, then went Labour in 2024, and are now being targeted heavily by Reform UK.

When Heated Rivalry – the Canadian gaymance about two brickhouse athletes navigating the heterosexual terrain of ice hockey – hijacked water cooler conversations, one question became inevitable: which fashion brand would be first to claim its leads, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, as their own? François Arnaud at the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2026 show. Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Getty Images Connor Storrie at the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2026 show.
