Newcastle-under-Lyme is a constituency in northern Staffordshire created in 1354 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Adam Jogee of the Labour Party. It was the last UK constituency to be co-represented by a member of the Conservative Party when it was dual-member, before the 1885 general election which followed the Reform Act 1884 and the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. In 1919 the local MP, Josiah Wedgwood, shifted his allegiance from the Liberal Party to the Labour Party and the seat elected the Labour candidate at each election for the next hundred years, a total of 29 elections in succession. Labour came close to losing the seat in 1969, 1986, 2015 and 2017, and eventually lost the seat in 2019.
