Nuneaton (a "key bellwether") - Conservative hold.

tinyclanger2 · Post by **tinyclanger2** » Fri 09 Jun, 2017 12:30 am

The Conservatives have held Kettering, with 57.9% of the vote for Philip Hollobone.

That’s up 6.1 points on 2015 – but Labour in second place on 36.5% are up 11.4 points.

Kettering - Conservative hold.

I've lost count of the number of deposits the LibDems have lost.

To lose one Prime Minister to a reckless gamble on a completely unnecessary vote may be regarded as misfortune; to lose two...

Darlington:
Labour and the Tories were both up eight points on 2015, a swing from Labour to the Conservatives of just 0.2%.

Rumours about Kate Hoey losing.

What a shame if true.

Curtice was just being asked again - says they underestimated Tories in the NE (Leave) but still isn't (saying he's) worried it's very wrong

Labour seems to winning in Remain areas but not being overly punished in Leave.......a difficult path to walk

Oh, and we can afford to lose Hoey!

The Exit poll cannot show the granulometry for all seats...saying it is 'underperforming' is a bit disingenuous

Darlington has been held by Labour. It was a key target seat for Theresa May, who hoped to win the seat. If the party was heading towards a significant majority then this is one seat May should have won.

NonOxCol · Post by **NonOxCol** » Fri 09 Jun, 2017 1:01 am

We can definitely afford to lose Hoey if the rumours around my old university seat are true.

That would be Sheffield Hallam.

tinyclanger2 · Post by **tinyclanger2** » Fri 09 Jun, 2017 1:03 am

Political scientist John Curtice said: "Darlington was meant to be the seat that showed us Theresa May was heading for a majority and instead Labour have held it."

Christ, the pre-emptive weeping over the loss of the "giant" Clegg from Twitter bods I otherwise like is quite something to behold.

I respect his EU position but frankly very little else. And that's quite polite.

Robert Buckland has been returned for the Conservatives with 24,809 votes in Swindon South.

I'll be interested to see how Greg Mulholland in Leeds NW gets on because I worked for him in my previous life as a Lib Dem and we beat Labour by unashamedly exploiting the student vote. If Labour have any sense they'll have done the same this time round and it'll be interesting to see if he can be toppled using the same tactics.
