Churchill was the winner in fourteen out of sixteen general elections in his career, an impressive performance; his record in by-elections, two out of five, was not nearly so solid, but those losses twice led to new seats that he held for long stretches. Defeated in Manchester in 1908, he moved to Dundee, which he held for sixteen years. Starting in 1924 he represented Epping, later Woodford, without serious challenge for forty years.
