Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer will visit a Buckinghamshire town next year after it was identified as a 'battleground' seat in the upcoming general election.

Sir Keir Starmer is set to embark on a tour of key "battleground" Conservative seats across England in the new year, including High Wycombe and Milton Keynes, according to The Sunday Times.

A source told the weekly newspaper that the upcoming general election would be "won or lost in commuter towns" such as Wycombe, whose parliamentary representative is currently the Conservative MP Steve Baker.

Polling data from Electoral Calculus predicts that the Labour Party would gain four Buckinghamshire seats in an imminent election, including taking Wycombe from the incumbent Mr Baker. 

The political forecasting site also predicted that Iain Stewart, of Milton Keynes Central, Ben Everitt, of Milton Keynes North, and Rob Butler, of Aylesbury, would similarly be ousted from their respective constituencies.

As of December 1, Electoral Calculus also predicts that Tory MPs Greg Smith and Joy Morrissey would retain their Buckingham and Beaconsfield seats.

Mr Baker previously acknowledged that he could lose his Wycombe seat due to the transfer of the Hazlemere ward to Chesham and Amersham under boundary changes recommended by the Boundary Commission for England.

He also told the BBC Local Democracy Reporting Service that the Wycombe seat would be of “national significance” in next year’s election, which will see him go up against Labour candidate Emma Reynolds, the former MP for Wolverhampton North East.
