An affluent suburb of Birmingham, Solihull is one of the safest Tory seats in Great Britain - in fact, before the loss of some territory, it was one of the safest two seats. It would still require an incredible 20 per cent swing to unseat Conservative MP John M Taylor. With 70 per cent of its workers non-manual and 97 per cent white, Solihull will certainly remain one of the most entrenched Tory seats in the country.
