Your old seat

[Ostap]

Senior Conservatives are eager to take on Powell’s claims. Asked what he would say to Powell now, Sajid Javid, the communities secretary, gleefully points out the political progress in Wolverhampton. “Your old seat is now represented by Eleanor Smith MP, a former nurse and a woman of African Caribbean heritage who is as British as you or, indeed, me,” he says.

Hello, teachers. Does your old seat refer to any seat of the parliament in the UK?

It means that the constituency for which Powell used to be the MP is now held by a woman of African-Caribbean descent. So no, "your old seat" refers specifically to just that one seat.

I.e. is it specifically about Wolverhampton?
