    As well as the Lab/Con/Ref story, this election is kind of a reversal of 2015.

    Lib-Dem 2015 wipeout, reversed. SNP tsunami, reversed.

    JC - So far, the Conservatives have been losing every seat where their lead over Labour was less than 30%. Similarly, the party has also lost every seat it has been defending against the Liberal Democrats where the majority was less than 30%.

    It was like that in most of the MRPs (iirc) so am pretty relaxed. I'm going to blame the sugar tax. Not because it's true but because I hate it. The most important product produced in Hexham is Fentimans, most of which's drinks are now undrinkable since they changed the formulation to use steviol rather than sugar.

    Leicester East is a terrible warning of British politics dividing on communal lines - with the Conservatives becoming the party of India and Israel, and Labour that of Pakistan and Palestine. No good can come of it.
