2019 claim about percentage decrease in the Labour vote - inaccurate

Under the 2019 election result it said "This was the largest percentage decrease in the Labour vote in the 2019 election", a claim that was not cited. In fact this was not the case. As I have added (with a reference) - in the History section where it discusses the seat's closer result in 2019 - it was actually the second worst decline in vote share that the Labour party suffered in any of the constituencies that it contested at the 2019 election. As the Times Guide to the House of Commons 2019 shows, the 24.7% decline in vote share here was (just) surpassed by the 24.9% decline in the Labour vote in Bassetlaw.^[1] Of course the difference was that in Bassetlaw the Conservatives easily gained the seat, while Labour held Wentworth and Dearne. It is also true that this was the worst fall in a seat that Labour retained in 2019, but I am not sure if the fact is worth recording or is bordering on trivia and so I have not included it in the article.
