On Friday, the country woke up to the news of a new Prime Minister and a and a whole host of new MPs.
Keir Starmer's Labour party won the majority of the vote and several Conservatives lost their seat, including former Prime Minister Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Grant Shapps and Penny Mordaunt. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage won his first parliamentary seat in Clacton on his eighth go at standing, this time as leader of Reform UK.
And there was also big change in the North East, including in Northumberland where Labour gained the Hexham constituency previously held by the Tories for a century. Add into the mix boundary changes in the 2024 General Election and you may be woundering who your new MP is as of Friday, July 5?

What happens if my MP lost their seat in the 2024 General Election?
Outgoing MPs receive financial support through the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA). According to the IPSA, the body which governs MPs’ expenses, former MPs have four months to wind up their parliamentary affairs from the day after polling day. This is known as the "winding-up period".
Tasks that need to be carried out during this period include making staff such as researchers, campaign officers, and assistants redundant; giving notice on any office or accommodation leases; repaying any owed money and disposing of equipment.
The IPSA will also pay the MP's salary up to and including polling day. All departing MPs receive a Winding-up Payment to assist them with completing any outstanding parliamentary work and closing down their offices.
This amount is four months’ salary and is standard whether the MP was based in London or not. As of April 2024, the annual salary for an MP was £91,346. The Government’s tax calculator estimates this would mean take-home pay is £63,541.68 – which would suggest four months of salary is about £21,000.
If an MP has two years of service or more, they are also entitled to Loss of Office Payment, which is equal to twice their statutory redundancy allowance. MPs who have stood down are not entitled to this payment.
