Some proper knife edge seats in there.
Ashford on a 0.08%. If 40000 people turn up, that’s a margin of 32 people.
Or is that 16, since it’s a swing? Either way, 10pm onwards will be interesting!

Just checking it against the Merseyside predictions and they are pretty solid still. The whole region goes red (thanks to a big swing in Southport) with the Greens the main opposition in most places and the Tories often finishing in 5th.
As an election nerd, I would hate to live in Merseyside because it’s the most boring place electorally. 😂
As an election nerd I would hate to live anywhere in the UK because FPTP is just 🤮
And I don’t just mean that from the perspective of what’s best democratically (though that’s true too). I mean figuring out how preferences are likely to flow and which candidate is going to end up in the 2CP (or, as was the case in my particularly close and exciting electorate, the 3CP) is so much nerdy fun.
Oh indeed. My constituency was at least once Tory but I have friends in an adjoining one that’s one of the safest seats in the country. It doesn’t really encourage much electoral enthusiasm.
