As an aside, that's a fascinatingly close result:
Con + UKIP + Brx
is almost exactly equal to
LD + GRN + ChUK0 -

Indeed it does. 2 caveats though.
Peterborough constituency is only c60% of Peterborough UA. It is a good deal more Labour, being the Town centre.
Labour, crucially, hung on to 2nd, just. Therefore, 2 horse race bar chart should be out.
Nevertheless Brexit should be big favourites now.0 -

The Tories are doing substantially worse, though in the long run both parties desperately need to take a clear position on Brexit.
Severe damage is unavoidable, but if they just sit in the middle dithering then they'll be completely torn apart.0 -

Probably because of the relative ambitions of the two parties.0 -
Most net seat changes in each region seem to see 1 conservative seat lost to a Remain party.
That’s the underlying message of the night for me. All the focus on Brexit Party basically holding UKIP seats is obscuring this.
Could be differential turnout. Could be Tory remains fracturing. Could be a real change in overall Leave/Remain proportions.0 -

Yes: they should come out at about 34%. (And the LDs should hold on to the 20% mark.)0 -

The Conservatives were not a pro-Leave party in 2014, so they've lost some Remain voters to the Lib Dems and CHUK up. I expect the overall vote share for pro-Leave parties will be about 47% tonight.0 -

I think we need to focus on the singular, personal achievement - love it or loathe it, and I tend to the negative - of Farage.
He literally STARTED this party a few weeks ago. From the chaos of UKIP. He honed its approach ("don't talk about migration!"), he disciplined its selection of candidates, he managed the singular message superbly.
It is an astonishing accomplishment. I cannot think of another politician, in the UK, with the skills to do it. Chapeau. He is a twerp, but he is Very Effective.0 -

Been lots of rival tactical voting maps, but one of the bigger independent one recommended getting Green over the line in lots of areas.

I don't think so. Scottish results so far suggest the pro-Indy/pro-Remain vote is holding solidly with the SNP, e.g.
