Several Sussex MPs are leaving on 4th July 2024


This item was initially set out on 30th May, but subsequently there have been a number of changes on the Wikipedia publication so this item has been changed most recently on 8th June.

A few months ago three of our Sussex MPs did publicly announced that they are retiring from Parliament when the voting would be arranged. Given that there is a vote on 4th July they will retire and some new people will become our MPs. However according to the Wikipedia documents that includes Sussex, that there are also several other Sussex MPs that are removing in July. The first three that published were Henry Smith from Crawley, Caroline Lucas from Brighton Pavilion and Tim Loughton from East Worthing and Shoreham. These three locations have new current indicate people from Wikipedia who is going to replace them if the same group is approved.

Crawley which is currently involving Conservative has proposed Zack Ali to replace from Henry who was MP since 2010 but previously there was a Labour MP from 1997 to 2005 and before that it was Conservative from 1983 to 1992. Along with Zack trying this location there is also a Labour person called Peter Lamb who also tried on 2019.

Brighton Pavilion has benefited from Green from Caroline since 2010 and her group has proposed Sian Berry as the new Green MP. Another person is Tom Gray who represents Labour which was the group from 1997 to 2005. The Conservatives were running from 1950 to 1992.

East Worthing and Shoreham has Leila Williams listed in Wikipedia that replaces from Tim Loughton as a new Conservative to contribute. However there are other options that includes Tom Rutland to focus for Labour for this year.

Some of the other 14 Sussex groups are indicating that closes are taking place. There are 4 locations that are also not having their existing MPs on 4th July. One of them is Mid Sussex listed below.

Brighton Kemptown has had Lloyd Russell-Moyle since 2017 but according to the Wikipedia session the new Labour person is Chris Ward. There have been Conservative and Labour MPs in the past since the group was achieved since 1950.

Bognor Regis and Littlehampton has had Nick Gibb for Conservative since 1997 when the location was created but according to the Wikipedia session the new Conservative person is Ali Griffiths and there are people for a number of other political groups.

Bexhill and Battle was established in 1983 and Hew Merriman for Conservatives was arranged from 2015 but this year the new Conservative member is Kieran Mullan and the current Labour colleague is Christine Bayliss who has been the second person since 2017 and there is also a new Liberal Democrats of Becky Jones and the Green person is Jonathan Kent who has tried since 2015.

There are 4 locations that include 1 new item and 1 changed name and 2 other locations that have transferred some of their location areas but the names are still the same.

Sussex Weald has been replaced from Wealden which has had Nus Ghani as the Conservative MP since 2015 and the new area is published in Wikipedia. As Nus explained on Twitter on 29/5 she stated “At one minute past midnight Parliament will be dissolved until after the General Election. I am no longer the MP for Wealden, but the candidate for Sussex Weald. Any previous posts referring to my being Wealden’s MP are historic.” This new arrangement is attached to the other new MP.

East Grinstead and Uckfield has been created and the likely MP will be Mims Davies who has removed from Mid Sussex. The most significant aspect of this aspect is that all other MP areas are referred to East Sussex or West Sussex areas (apart from the Brighton and Hove area). East Grinstead and Uckfield covers East Sussex and West Sussex!

Mid Sussex which has had Mims Davies in the last five years is now arranging for Kristy Adams as the new Conservative MP proposal for that location. Mims is applying for a new MP setting and has is taking some aspects from Mid Sussex.

Lewes that has been involving with Maria Caulfield since 2015 when she won against the Norman Baker role.

Finally there are currently 7 other locations which list the current MPs in the proposal for the next vote – there are 3 locations which have remained with the same political members consistently.

The Worthing West has had Peter Bottomley as the MP when the location was created since 1997, Arundel and South Downs has had Andrew Griffith since 2019 and previously it has been Conservative since the group was arranged in 1997, Horsham has had Jeremy Quin since 2015 and they have been Conservative since 1880 and the other options were not successful till 1830 to 1880 and Chichester has had Gillian Keegan since 2017 as the Conservative MP although Gillian only received her support on 6th June that she published on Twitter but Wikipedia has not yet endorsed that. Gillians comment is “It’s official! Handed in my nomination papers for the general election and I am now the @Conservatives candidate for Chichester. Thanks to all those who nominated me from all parts of Chichester and the surrounding villages and towns.”

The other 3 have occasionally amended in the past but the existing MPs are planning to get voted.

There is Hove for Peter Kyle who is a Labour MP but that area was created in 1950 and it had Conservatives until 1992 when there have been several changes since then for Labour and Conservative groups in the past. The other 2 items are Eastbourne with Caroline Ansell and Hastings and Rye for Sally-Ann Hart. Both of them are currently Conservatives but they have had some other political group MPs in the past.

It will be interested to see what these 17 locations do achieve on 4th July this year!
