Summary: Putney has been a type of bellwether seat, which appears to change hands before a change of Government. Tory Justine Greening won it in 2005, five years before Gordon Brown’s Labour was ousted.
Ms Greening, who served in Cabinet in several roles including education, transport and international development, lost the Tory whip in 2019 when she refused to back Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans.
Fleur Anderson won the seat at the December 2019 Brexit election with a majority of 4,774, the only Labour gain during the Corbyn disaster poll for their party, and seemingly before a change of Government in 2024, if the polls are right.
Previous MPs include David Mellor.
Area: Wards in the constituency include East Putney, Fairfield (part of), Roehampton and Putney Heath, Southfields, Thamesfield, West Hill, and West Putney.

Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes have made this slightly less of a Labour seat. The party won it in 2019 with 45.1 per cent of the vote, with the Tories on 35.7 per cent and Lib Dems 16.9 per cent. Under the new boundaries it would have been 44.3 per cent Labour, 36.4 per cent Conservative and Lib Dems still on 16.9 per cent.
YouGov MRP poll prediction: Labour hold
Evening Standard view: Barring a very unexpected result, this should be a Labour win
