Labour beaten by Reform in both Scottish seats.

How's the Count Binface vote holding up?

Aberdeen South must be one of the very few seats in the country where significant numbers of Labour voters would consider switching to the Tories.

A&BF changes

SNP +6%
Con +4%
Ref +10%
Lab -18%
LD +1%

Spectacular result for the Tories in Aberdeen, Arbroath up next.

Tories win back a seat they held until the excellent Stephen Flynn won it in 2019 in a meagre turnout where barely 30% voted.

Spectacular LOL

Get a grip.

Turnout 38% actually - pretty standard for a by-election.

Arbroath & Broughton Ferry

SNP 9,802
Con 4,524
Ref 4,341
Lab 3,651
LD 1,452

Thats another result the Tories will be content with. They were never going to take the seat, they are far stronger in rural Angus. A decent springboard for the next election.

SNP will be happy to hold, but utterly dire from Labour. They only lost this seat by 859 votes in 2024

Result with percentages and changes

Aberdeen South

That's a shellacking.
Tories final redoubts of Scotland and London?
Upside down world!

This must be Kemi's best election results as leader - not just a huge win in Aberdeen South but several good local by-election results as well.

It really does feel as if Reform cannot win the next GE.

Labour favourites but Conservatives have a good chance too.

Arbroath & Broughton Ferry

SNP 9,802
Con 4,524
Ref 4,341
Lab 3,651

SNP hold but the Tories second so an excellent night for Scottish Conservative

Spectacular result for the Tories in Aberdeen, Arbroath up next.
