UK election open thread

1. And Cramlington and Killingworth.

   Still no Conservative seats though.

2. It is the same in nearby Gatehead Central and Wickham where Labour is loosing votes to its left flank Greens and a Socialist in that seat.

3. More seats called!

   Labour hold: Jarrow and Gateshead East, South Shields
   Labour gain from Conservative: Stroud
   Liberal Democrats gain from Conservative: Harrogate and Knaresborough

4. FIRST CONSERVATIVE SEAT CALLED!

   Rayleigh and Wickford has been called for the Conservatives.

5. Rayleigh and Wickford is an example of a Tory retain (37%) due to Reform, Labour (25% each) and Lib Dems all splitting the vote.

6. Labour hold Knowsley.

7. @Votante though in saying that it’s a seat the Conservatives have always held.

8. Votante, although for an Australian example that would still end up being a Tory hold because Reform would be like One Nation or UAP, and Labor would generally preference the Liberals (Conservatives) over a right-wing candidate.

9. Labour gain from Conservative: Darlington, Nuneaton, Telford
   Liberal Democrats gain from Conservative: Eastleigh

10. @Yoh An true.

11. Labour hold Barnsley North.

12. Nuneaton is a classic bellwether like Robertson here so not a good omen for Tories.

13. Labour hold Leeds West and Pudsey, Labour gain Swindon North from Conservatives.

    Listening to Sky News UK’s coverage of the election and they appear to have results that The Guardian doesn’t, for example they’ve called Castle Point for the Conservatives.

14. Labour hold Widnes and Halewood.

15. Labour hold Battersea.

    I’m getting close to calling the election.

16. Labour gain Blackpool South from Conservatives.

17. Labour gain Bridgend from Conservatives, Conservatives hold Broxbourne, Labour hold Norwich South.

18. BREAKING: SKY NEWS HAS CALLED ASHFIELD FOR REFORM

    Ashfield has been called as a Reform gain from the Torys. Lee Anderson, an ex-Conservative, has won the seat.

20. Conservatives hold Castle Point.

21. First results in Wales:

    Labour gain from Conservative: Bridgend, Vale of Glamorgan

22. Labour gain Leigh and Atherton from Conservatives.

23. Labour has gained Redcar and Whitehaven and Workington from the Conservatives, and has held Bootle.

24. BREAKING: TALLYROOM USER “NETHER PORTAL” CALLS THE ELECTION FOR LABOUR

    With Labour at 34 seats right now (the Torys are at three, the Lib Dems are at two and Reform is at one), I’m calling it for Labour. The swings against the Conservatives nationwide are massive.

25. Labour has held Putney, Reading Central and Tynemouth.

26. And Runcorn and Hensby.

27. *Helsby

28. I’m taking a short break for now. I’ll be back soon.

29. Agree NP, the results are looking very much like the massive wipeouts inflicted by Labor at the 2021 WA election and 2016 NT election where the ALP won a supermajority (>75% of the seats).

30. Reform have held onto Ashfield a seat that the Conservatives won in 2019 with the MP defeating to reform. Ashfield was formerly a Labour stronghold what is interesting is can Reform win similar seats like this in the future.

31. George Galloway has lost Rochdale. Labour wins it.
