'''Brentford and Isleworth''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|aɪ|z|əl|w|ər|θ|audio=LL-Q1860 (eng)-Back ache-Isleworth.wav}} {{respell|EYE|zəl|wərth}}) is a [[List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies|constituency]]{{refn|A [[borough constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[UK Parliament]]. It forms the eastern part of the [[London Borough of Hounslow]]. Since 2015, it has been represented by [[Ruth Cadbury]] of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]].{{refn|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least every five years.|group= n}}
Following the completion of the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], the seat was subjected to boundary changes which moved [[Whitton, London|Whitton]] from [[Twickenham (UK Parliament constituency)|Twickenham]] into the constituency, and moved [[Chiswick]] to the newly created constituency of [[Hammersmith and Chiswick (UK Parliament constituency)|Hammersmith and Chiswick]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in England – Volume one: Report – London {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/2023-review-volume-one-report/the-2023-review-of-parliamentary-constituency-boundaries-in-england-volume-one-report-london/ |access-date=2023-07-27 |website=boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk}}</ref>
==Constituency profile==
The seat is a mixture of very suburban London and urban district centres with many differing heights and types of homes. It stretches along the north bank of the Thames and then to the west, encompassing the London districts (former villages) of [[Chiswick]], most of [[Hounslow]], [[Isleworth]] (from Old Isleworth to [[Osterley]]) and the former market town of [[Brentford]].
The seat is affluent nearest the Thames and [[Osterley Park]], yet it has a few tall tower blocks and other council housing set back from it in parts of Isleworth and Brentford. Brentford has a wide range and long history of [[social housing]], which is mostly, by a narrow margin, private housing, following the 1980s [[Right to Buy]] reform. Locally, 21st century development includes a large proportion of shared ownership and housing authority homes. The seat has seen more unemployment (11.7% in 2017) than London (5.3%) or the UK (4.4%) overall.<ref>{{cite web|title=All people – Economically active – Unemployed: Brentford and Isleworth|url=http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/wpca/1929379904/subreports/pca_ea_time_series/report.aspx|website=Nomis|publisher=Source: Office for National Statistics|access-date=2 February 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304053508/http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/wpca/1929379904/subreports/pca_ea_time_series/report.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>
About three wards make up Hounslow in the west, and two for Brentford in the centre, which, excluding its expensive Quay and North Quarter parts, have an above-average rank in the [[Index of Multiple Deprivation]]; many of these homes are affordable for workers on lower incomes, and are generally strong for the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]]. In the far east of the seat are three [[Chiswick]] wards that return [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] councillors. Chiswick's large public sector economic component, and relatively young profile for a wealthy area sees a three-way or broader split in its general election votes. The only part of the seat with a London [[W postcode area|postcode – W4]], it abounds with high-income office workers, small-to-mid-size business directors and senior governmental workers. Its parks, gardens, long Thames riverside, proximity to [[Hammersmith]], united Piccadilly and District tube lines and housing stock mean it resembles the neighbouring [[Richmond Park (UK Parliament constituency)|Richmond Park]] seat socio-economically.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mouseprice.com/property-for-sale/w4|title=Property for Sale in W4, Houses & Flat for Sale W4 – Mouseprice|work=mouseprice.com|access-date=18 December 2012|archive-date=8 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408213918/http://www.mouseprice.com/property-for-sale/w4|url-status=live}}</ref> The wards of [[Osterley]], [[Spring Grove, London|Spring Grove]] and Hounslow South have long alternated between, or generated a split result between, Conservative and Labour councillors, and there is no evidence to suggest they lean more to the [[left-wing politics|left]] of their local results at [[General elections in the United Kingdom|general elections]].
The [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] (including their two predecessor parties) took their largest share of the vote here in 2010, but they have lacked local councillors, and the party received less than a quarter of the vote in what was essentially a three-candidate race.
The [[Green Party of England and Wales|Green Party]] kept its deposits in three of the four contests before 2017. In the election that year it chose not to field a candidate, in order to help Labour defend its 400-vote majority.
;Economy
The [[Brentford Community Stadium]], home of [[Brentford F.C.]], is within the seat, as is [[Fuller's Brewery]], and various headquarters of multinational and market-leading domestic companies, including [[GlaxoSmithKline]] and [[BSkyB]]. The districts have tube or rail services to the east and west of London (to [[Heathrow Airport]], Ealing and/or Weybridge), which are major centres of employment.
;Political history (summary)
From 1979 until 2015, the seat proved to be a national [[bellwether]]. The 2015 result gave the seat the 4th most marginal majority of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ukpolitical.info/labour-mps-elected-2015.htm |title=Labour Members of Parliament 2015 |website=UK Political.info |archive-date=2018-09-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929214847/http://www.ukpolitical.info/labour-mps-elected-2015.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> During the seat's existence, the two largest parties nationally have jostled for the winning candidate. In 2015, Labour gained the seat, despite the Conservatives winning a majority nationally, thus ending its streak as a bellwether constituency.
===Split of votes in local council elections===
{{main|Hounslow London Borough Council elections}}
In 2010, council seats split evenly (15—15) between the two main parties, reflecting the result of the general election held on the same day, in which the parliamentary seat was narrowly gained by the Conservatives. From 1998 to 2001, three wards at the centre of the constituency returned Independent Community Group councillors, reaching seven seats at their peak. These wards were taken by Labour in 2010.
Labour added Hounslow South in 2014, and took one of the three Osterley and Spring Grove seats, leaving them with 19 seats and the Conservatives with 11. In 2018, Labour gained the remaining Conservative seats in Osterley and Spring Grove, which gave Labour 21 seats to the Conservatives on 9.
