Tories seem confused how they lost such a blue seat. Some answers: our candidate @SarahGreenLD talked & listened to people; activists & local party @calibdems worked hard to get the message out; and we didn't take votes for granted.

Political commentators have been absolutely blown away by our fantastic result, some, like Jim Pickard from the Financial Times were massively shocked...

can't believe I'm actually writing this but the Lib Dems now have a majority of over 8,000 in Chesham and Amersham https://t.co/BGgipJ9uOZ

NEW: If you're waking up you've missed a truly sensational by election result.

Lib Dems GAIN Chesham and Amersham. It's been Conservative since 1974. It had a Tory majority of 16000+. Now a Lib Dem maj of *8028*.

That's a swing to the Lib Dems of 25.2%.

This a stunning victory for Lib Dems & a humiliating defeat for Tories. Seat which has been Conservative since it's creation 46 years & is deep in Tory blue wall turns yellow.
