Neil Carmichael, previous chair of the education select committee, has lost his seat in parliament to his Labour opponent David Drew.

Carmichael lost to the former Labour MP and teacher by almost 700 votes, while Greening’s majority in her south London seat of Putney was cut from more than 10,000 to less than 2,000.
