Liberal Democrat candidate Clive Jones gave his victory speech after he made history by becoming the first ever Lib Dem MP for Wokingham.
Speaking after his victory, he said: “The country and the people of Wokingham have voted for change.
“The people of Wokingham have been wonderfully supportive, they knew we needed real change so they voted for me to be the first ever Liberal Democrat MP for Wokingham.
“I promise to work tirelessly on their behalf. This is their victory and thank you very, very much.
“I will represent you in parliament with honesty, diligence and care. I will champion the NHS, lobby to stop water companies from polluting our water ways and press the government to reduce the effects of the cost of living crisis.
“I will be relentless on your behalf.
“I’ve spoken to thousands in the last two years since I was selected to fight this election. Thank you so much for your warm welcome when I knocked on your door or met you on the street. It’s been so good to have seen so many friends on this campaign trail.
“I would like to say thank you to anyone who’s heart may support another party, but they lent their vote to the Liberal Democrats to ensure that we had change where we needed.”
