Ealing North.

Ealing North is a densely built outer-London seat, almost entirely urban, with a Census population of around 133,430 and a young median age of 37. The constituency is dominated by a single contiguous built-up area centred on Ealing itself, which accounts for roughly 97.5 per cent of residents; only a small rural and dispersed fringe lies beyond it. It is a mixed and diverse place, just over two-fifths White at the last Census and a little under two-fifths degree-educated. One authority runs local services across the eight wards that fall within the seat: the London Borough of Ealing.

Politically, the seat leans firmly to Labour, though the picture across its wards is not uniform. Of the most recent ward contests within the constituency, Labour took the large majority, with the Conservatives holding North Greenford against the grain. At parliamentary level the direction is clearer still: Labour won here in 2024 on 47.8 per cent, with the Conservatives a distant second on 18.8 per cent, a margin of close to thirty points, albeit one narrower than the gap recorded in 2019. The sitting member, James Murray, has held the seat for Labour and Co-operative since 2019; his recorded speeches cluster around the economy, fiscal policy and the cost of living.

On the figures available the seat looks secure for Labour, even as recent borough-level coverage has carried a more contested, accountability-focused tone, with the party's grip on the council loosening at the edges. Some categories of crime stand out against the constituency average: vehicle crime appears to run well above it, with anti-social behaviour, drug offences and burglary also elevated. Taken together, the seat reads as comfortably Labour at Westminster while its local politics has grown a degree more fluid.
