I never thought I would see the day that Blyth Valley voted for a Tory

Big_G_NorthWales

First like Boris - I thought I was. Well done numbertwelve

rcs1000

LDs will be super excited to have retained their deposits.

turns out calling people racists and fools for three and half years isn't a vote winner.

Massive.

Can someone check on Owen Jones?

As mentioned, the collected results so far look strong, but not like an 80 majority. There could be huge regional swings and variations, though.

Casino_Royale

Congrats to Robert Smithson.

Fantastic prediction.

RobinWiggs

Blyth Valley is seismic.

This is going o be a bloodbath. Could it be a 100+ majority?

Average swing after 3 results, 7%.
Majority of 104 with UNS.

MyBurningEars

"Just look at the remain parties votes combined" followed by "give away a former heartland seat" - wondered if this meant PC + LD + Green for a minute. But then realised "remain parties" supposedly included Labour. And this was Labour heartland, not "Remainia" heartland. Perhaps a clue in there somewhere.

Let us reiterate: Labour since 1910.

It could, they've got a lot of seats very close. I suppose it could be a bit below the projection, but probably not below a 60-70 majority in any case. The results we've had so far are very close to what the exit poll was showing.

Probably helped reduce the Labour vote that wouldn’t transfer to Con.

If Lord Pannick can talk for 5 years the Tories will hold all these seats

It can't be over emphasised how BAD the Blyth Valley and Houghton results are for LAB. They are brain meltingly bad!!!

Still uncertainty in London might be bad, Wales could be good, Scotland * knows

MAJ unlikely to be below 40 could be 100

Philip_Thompson

KentRising said:

Help, massively. This is what I said about them standing in red seats - the Leavers who could stomach voting for the Tories did so. Those who could never vote Tory under any circumstances went BXP instead of Labour.

Had BXP stood down those votes would have gone back to Labour.

Looks about 50-60 so far, but could be even better or worse than the exit poll, depending on crazy regional swings.

Looks like the BP might in many seats take enough from the Labour Party even if the Tories don’t increase their vote much to allow them through .

The Tories better deliver for those Labour Leave areas .

I've bet on all the wrong Tory holds and I fear won't be on the right gains.

Exit poll said 56% chance of a Tory gain.

Nevertheless Curtice on the BBC now explaining the weakness of the seat predictions. In particular the sampling points in Scotland are fewer.

Tonight would have been impossible without their hard work. Thank you!

Blyth Valley has an unusually old population. High boomer count. 36.5% boomers

Houghton and Sunderland South 35.9% boomer.

National average is 31.7%

Newcastle Central is 22.1% boomer.

I think this is why we are seeing differential swings between these seats.

It's still early, but it's only worth staying up much longer if one's in it for the long haul, and I won't be (had kind of planned for that, but I do need to do some work tomorrow).

Anyway, hope you all have fun celebrating/drowning your sorrows.
