This is right up there with "Do coal miners vote Tory?"

Not if it gets rid of May.

The Wild Twitter Rumour Stage is clearly in full swing.

Sunderland West

Tories up 10%
Labour up 5.8%

[nicholas.slaydon]

Washington and Sunderland West= Labour Hold

[Silent Hunter]

Washington and Sunderland West shows another swing to the Tories. If this is in a safe seat... then what do the marginals look like?

[SunSt0rm]

Sunderland West

Tories up 10%
Labour up 5.8%

Sunderland might just be an outlier tonight

[Tintrlvr]

Seems like Tories generally gaining somewhat in Leave areas and Labour gaining somewhat in Remain areas, which probably means close to an overall wash in seats.

What did I say to this entire board not TEN MINUTES ago?

It may be that Tories' gains are distributed much less efficiently. Winning in Leave areas where Labour hold on anyway, losing (as in: swing to Labour) in areas that are less Leave or Remain and more marginal.

Which was the assumption many, including me, made about LAB vote share increases.  Of course we need to see some marginal results.

There are a lot of Labour-leave marginals in Yorkshire and the Midlands

How much longer until Nuneaton? (How does one pronounce that? New-knee-uh-ton or New-nay-ton or something else?)

Nate Cohn: "The early U.K. results look nothing like the exit poll, but they do look quite a bit like YouGov, which also showed Labour doing well."

None eaten.

[bullmoose88]

So whats the Tory swing (if there is one) in the North 2%? And the Labour swing in the south (4%?)  what does that give us if applied in the North and South of England?

[nicholas.slaydon]

Newcastle North= Labour Hold

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

If the Welsh Tories feel they'll lose Vale of Clwyd and Gower, what will that show?

You have Peter Kellner at the BBC table and yet not one mention of that fact!
