CONSERVATIVES can take some solace from Ludlow and Tenbury as they consider a dreadfully disappointing General Election.

Philip Dunne was comfortably re-elected for the fourth time as MP for Ludlow and Harriett Baldwin was a very comfortable winner in West Worcestershire that includes Tenbury.

Ludlow and West Worcestershire are now counted as amongst the safest Conservative seats.

Philip Dunne was a Minister in the Department for Health in the last Government and Harriett Baldwin was Minister for Defence Procurement.
