The independent Boundary Commission for England (BCE) has begun a new review of all parliamentary constituencies in England.
The move follows a decision by Parliament in December 2020 to retain the number of constituencies in the UK at 650, and to ensure that there are roughly the same number of electors in each constituency.
Geographical boundaries of the UK’s 650 constituencies will be redrawn to each contain a near equal number of eligible voters. This means the number of electors in each recommended mainland English constituency must be no less than 69,724 and no more than 77,062.

I cannot begin to describe my gratitude to the wonderful people who have cared for me in hospital. They are truly exceptional.
I feel so fortunate to be back home knowing that for so many families, it has been a very different situation.
On Christmas Eve, her Twitter account said she had been “laid low with COVID for a while.” Her team said on Jan. 2 that she was being treated in hospital for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
