| David Heath will have a hard time hanging on to Somerton and Frome. He is defending a tiny majority and will not be buoyed up by the European election result. However, he is a reasonable Labour vote to squeeze and might just, if he can persuade enough Labour voters over to his side, have enough to scrape a hold. But it's going to be extremely tight. |

| Somerton and Frome is a top Conservative target according to the BBC. A minute swing to Conservative will topple the Liberals here. Look for a switch here. |
