Labour hold Houghton and Sunderland South.
Re: Thursday 8th June 2017
Turnout is up 10% roughly in both. Kids have come out, it seems.

Re: Thursday 8th June 2017
Fuller results from Houghton and Sunderland South paint a more complex picture.
But the result is a 3.5% swing Labour to Conservative – the opposite to what the exit poll predicted.

I note that Dan Hodges isn't the only one to admit to voting Tory...Brendan "We're still Marxists over at Spiked honest!" O'Neill did too.
What a surprise...and odd that presumably this was the only option.

Switched (very briefly) to the BBC. They are desperately downplaying the relevence of exit polls.
Fingers crossed for Amber Rudd (if you catch my drift).

Armed police arrive outside Jeremy Corbyn's house. Is that a sign of his increased political status? They weren't here before the exit poll.

Trend of results in the North East so far shows two effects: solid increases in turnout benefiting Labour, while Tories take 2015 UKIP votes

Exit poll may be overestimating Labour’s performance in election, first two results suggest
John Curtice, who worked on the exit poll that has called all recent elections correctly, pointed out the difference between the projected and actual results but did not appear to worry that his projections could be dramatically wrong.

Re: Thursday 8th June 2017
Whoops - just missed a result whilst I was wittering. It was a Labour hold, though.
It was Washington and Sunderland West.
Turnout thought to be up 3-4%, apparently.

Re: Thursday 8th June 2017
Hi all
Looking better than predicted a week or so ago
I would be cautious about the criticism of the Exit Poll - go and have a look at UKPR as they are looking at the YouGov Nowcast that has been bang on, and is suggesting Labour has been underestimated even
The media is embarrassed, and in some case scared, about a Labour Government
Even now Dimbleby is behaving like the complete knob he is
I don't know where it is going but it is not going to be a landslide....Labour were 20 points behind at the start of the campaign.....!!!!!!
