Analysis - high profile MPs could lose to Reform UK

HIGH profile MPs in Kent would lose their seats to Reform UK if local election trends were replicated in a national poll, new analysis suggests.

- 

Laura Trott, MP for Sevenoaks, and Tonbridge's Tom Tugendhat would be the only Conservative MPs likely to be re-elected, according to the prediction.

Polling firm Electoral Calculus (EC) used the results on May 1 in English county council divisions to extrapolate a likely outcome in Westminster seats.

Two to fall to Reform UK would be Conservative Faversham and Mid-Kent's Helen Whately, who has been a junior minister of state, and Dover and Deal Labour new boy Mike Tapp, who has been tipped for bigger things.
