Prime minister Rishi Sunak has fired the starting gun for the general election race – with candidates set to go to the polls on 4 July 2024.

There's been a boundary shakeup in this area, with a new seat in the Commons for Rutland and Stamford, and another for Grantham and Bourne. Melton is now paired with Syston.

James Moore (Lib Dem)
