He defeated the incumbent Conservative MP, Johnny Mercer, who had been first elected in 2015.

Further to the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the composition of the constituency was expanded slightly in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range by transferring north-western parts of Peverell ward from Plymouth Sutton and Devonport.
The remaining wards from the City of Plymouth are in the constituencies of Plymouth Sutton and Devonport and South West Devon.
