When going on about Kensington, it's not the old K&C of Alan Clark, Rifkind, etc.
That seat is now called Chelsea and Fulham. This is mostly the old Regent's Park and Kensington North - which had Labour MPs 1997-2010.

The Tory majority in 2015 was only 7,361. Yes, it's still a big gain for Labour, but hardly the revolution some people are saying.
-
Kensington & Chelsea is about 1.5 constituencies, so it's either one in the south and 0.5 in the north with Westminster (old version)
-
Or one in the north and 0.5 in the south with Fulham (current version). So the current version is about halfway between RPNK and K&C.
-
Don't get me wrong - it's a considerable achievement for Labour to win. But it's not like winning the old K&C.
