Chesham and Amersham by-election: New Lib Dem MP Sarah Green gives acceptance speech after shock win

In an extraordinary result, the Lib Dems (candidate Sarah Green pictured left) defied years of electoral woe to storm the ultra-safe seat - which has been held by the Conservatives since it was created in 1974. Party leader Ed Davey said the 8,000-vote margin of victory showed that Boris Johnson's 'Blue Wall is beginning to crumble'. And the bombshell news will fuel fears that the Brexit-driven political realignment that allowed Mr Johnson to smash Labour's Red Wall is now loosening his grip on traditional Tory heartlands. Chesham & Amersham, in Buckinghamshire on the outskirts of London, voted strongly for Remain at the 2016 referendum. The loss appeared to surprise even those Conservative MPs who have been spending a lot of time campaigning in the constituency. In a round of broadcast interviews this morning, policing minister Kit Malthouse said the defeat was 'obviously very disappointing' - while pointing out that governments typically performed badly in mid-term by-elections.
