An historic General Election resulted in all Conservative MPs in Oxfordshire being wiped off the map - the first time the county has not had one since 1777.
The Liberal Democrats took five Oxfordshire seats in what has been dubbed a "demolition" of blue Conservative dominance.
Labour also took one seat from the Conservatives in Banbury and retained its hold over the Oxford East constituency.

But who are these new people representing the county and what exactly do they stand for?
Layla Moran, Liberal Democrat MP for Oxford West and Abingdon
Ms Moran is the only already-existing Liberal Democrat to win a seat in Oxfordshire.
She will continue to represent the Oxford West and Abingdon constituency after increasing her majority from 8,943 in 2019 to 14,894 in the 2024 election.
Speaking to us, the MP said she will "keep working day and night to be a strong voice for our health services, for our environment, and for our community".
She thinks "sky-high energy bills, food prices and housing costs" are among the biggest issues faced in the country right now.
Ms Moran has served as the Liberal Democrat spokesman for Foreign Affairs and International Development since 2020.
She was born in Hammersmith and is the elder daughter of diplomat James Moran and Randa Moran, a Christian Palestinian from Jerusalem.
Anneliese Dodds, Labour MP for Oxford East
Ms Dodds will continue to represent the people of Oxford East in parliament since first winning the seat in 2017.
She has a new role in cabinet now that there is a Labour government, in the form of women and equalities minister and will also serve as minister of state for development.

The Labour politician says she feels strongly about "building more affordable homes", "endless NHS waiting lists" and "getting more community police on our streets".
Ms Dodds, who lives in Oxford East, says she has "always put local people first".
A few Labour votes in the constituency were lost to Independent candidates meaning Ms Dodds' majority is slightly smaller than it had been in 2019.
She was born in Aberdeen and went on to study PPE at the University of Oxford.
Olly Glover, Liberal Democrat MP for Didcot & Wantage
Mr Glover won his seat off the Conservative MP David Johnston and he says his aim is to "restore honesty, integrity and, most of all, trust to politics".
He lives in Milton and says he has seen" problems caused by housing developments being built without adequate infrastructure such as GP surgeries, and public utilities, such as water companies, not delivering adequate services whilst increasing charges".
Mr Glover has worked in operations management of various railway companies and he studied History at the University of Cambridge.
The Oxford Mail ran a question and answer feature with all the MP candidates ahead of the election where Mr Glover revealed his favourite crisp flavour is salt and vinegar as he "likes the intensity of the flavour".
Freddie van Mierlo, Liberal Democrat MP for Henley & Thame
Mr van Mierlo has served as an Oxfordshire county councillor since 2021. He grew up in Lancashire and has an MA in European Union Studies from Leiden University in the Netherlands.
He has also studied geographical sciences at Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France.
The Liberal Democrat says he "comes from an NHS family" and is "committed to improving the NHS is our area".
He would like to "build a team in the constituency that takes ownership of case work coming into us and stewarding it to a solution".
Mr van Mierlo lives in Henley with his wife and daughter.
Calum Miller, Liberal Democrat MP for Bicester & Woodstock
Dr Calum Miller is MP for the new Bicester & Woodstock constituency, after a tight race which saw him beat the Conservative candidate Rupert Harrison.
Dr Miller was previously a public policy academic and during the coalition years was principal private secretary to Nick Clegg, the then leader of the Liberal Democrats.
Later he became a councillor on the Oxfordshire County Council and was a member for finance in the Liberal Democrat cabinet.
Dr Miller, who lives in the constituency, says he wishes to be "the strong local voice our area needs and deserves".
He says "sewage in our rivers, how to pay ever-increasing bills, and the climate emergency" are topics that make him angry.
Charlie Maynard, Liberal Democrat MP for Witney
Mr Maynard says he and his wife Sophie both "care about people and like being useful" having volunteered locally and had both Syrian and Ukrainian refugees living with their family.
He was chairman of the Witney Oxford Transport Group which is "focused on finding solutions to A40 traffic problems by restoring the Witney rail line".
Mr Maynard, who studied Geography at university, says his main topic of interest is "stopping sewage going into our rivers ASAP and making sure Thames Water shareholders and creditors pay for the infrastructure upgrades, not residents through huge bill rises".
He said a fun fact about him was he broke his neck aged 18 by "diving into the sea and completely misjudging the depth of the water".
He added: "We were on holiday and I went to a local doctor who wrongly diagnosed me, so I walked around for a week with a broken neck."
Sean Woodcock, Labour MP for Banbury
Mr Woodcock, a "Banbury lad", won over the seat from Conservative Victoria Prentis despite it having been held by the party since 1922.
He has served as leader of the Labour group on Cherwell District Council and his background also includes work as a family and education law barrister.
"Housing insecurity and vulnerability" are among the issues most important to him.
He said "Our housing market is broken; serving only vested interests like property developers and hedge funds with large property portfolios."
Mr Woodcock is the eldest of five siblings.
He attended Wroxton C of E Primary School, followed by The Warriner School and later pursued his higher education at universities in Reading and Birmingham.
