Ilford North is aconstituency[n 1] inGreater London that was created in 1945. The seat has been represented in theHouse of Commons of theParliament of the United Kingdom byWes Streeting of theLabour Party since2015.[n 2] Streeting currently serves asSecretary of State for Health and Social Care in the government ofKeir Starmer.
The seat was created for the1945 general election, from the northern part of the formerIlford seat.
Incomes and house prices are above average for the UK.[2]All districts are suburban but interspersed with many parks and a few small nature reserves and are connected to Central London by theCentral line which forms an end loop aroundHainault tube station. Most residents live in terraced or semi-detached houses with small and narrow gardens. As at the 2011 census,mid-rise apartments in modest landscaped grounds form the bulk of the type of flats in the seat as opposed totower blocks.[3]
The seat has fluctuated since 1945 betweenLabour andConservative representation in the House of Commons. The 2015 result made the seat the 8th narrowest win of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority, and infirst past the post a 1.2% majority would be consideredmarginal.[4] The2017 election saw an 8.5% swing to Labour, increasing their margin in the seat to 9,639 votes (18.2%), the largest majority for a Labour MP in the seat's history. Labour's majority was almost halved during the 2019 general election.
In 2024, Ilford North became the focus of press attention as independent candidateLeanne Mohamad sought to oust incumbent Wes Streeting. One of several independents running primarily on the issue of theGaza genocide,[5] Whilst Mohamad ended up not winning the seat, she reduced Streeting's majority from 5,198 (10.4%) to 528 (1.2%), making it one of the country's most marginal constituencies.[6]
