General Election London 2024 seats: Who is my MP in...Croydon East?

Millions of voters across London went to the polls on July 4 to elect the new Government. The Standard looked at key battleground seats in the capital, and published an interactive map of the results. Here we turn the spotlight on:

CROYDON EAST

WINNER: NATASHA IRONS

Natasha Irons (Labour), until recently a councillor in Merton, has been elected as the first ever MP for the new seat of Croydon East.

In her victory speech, Ms Irons said Labour had won an opportunity it "must not squander".

She told the Standard that this means Labour must "continue to be a party that puts country first and party second".

She addded: "We need to be absolutely focused on delivering for people now. People don't want to have empty promises, they want a decade of national renewal."

Candidates for main parties (in alphabetical order):

Jason Cummings - Conservatives

Scott Holman - Reform UK

Natasha Dawn Irons - Labour Party

Andrew John Pelling - Liberal Democrats

Peter Underwood - Green Party

Area: The constituency includes the wards of Addiscombe East, Addiscombe West, New Addington North, New Addington South, Selsdon & Addington Village, Selsdon Vale & Forestdale, Shirley North, Shirley South, and Woodside (part of).

Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes mean this new seat of Croydon East is marginally less safe for Labour than the old Croydon Central constituency. Labour won the latter in 2019 with 50.2 per cent share of the vote, with the Tories on 39.2 per cent, and Lib Dems 6.5 per cent. The new constituency would have been 48.1 per cent Labour, 41.3 per cent Conservative and 6.6 per cent Lib Dem.
