Calder Valley is a constituency in West Yorkshire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Josh Fenton-Glynn of the Labour Party.[n 1]
The constituency has a long record as a bellwether of national results in British elections. In every election since its creation for the 1983 general election, it has voted for an MP belonging to the largest party in the Commons; this record stretches back to February 1974 and 1960 for its main predecessors, Sowerby and Brighouse and Spenborough respectively.
