Stoke-on-Trent South is a constituency[n 1] created in 1950, and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Allison Gardner, a Labour party representative.[n 2] The local electorate returned a Labour MP in every election until 2017, when Jack Brereton became its first Conservative MP.[2] The seat is non-rural and in the upper valley of the Trent covering half of the main city of the Potteries, a major ceramics centre since the 17th century.
In the 2024 election Labour overturned a majority of over 11,000, to regain the seat from the Conservatives.[3]
