600 votes in it

Sticky Vicky P loses my constituency

Lab 38%
Con 31%
Ref 13%
LD* 9%

A lowly 4th for my vote.

In seats where the Muslim population is above 25%, Labour is down 23 percentage points.

In seats where the Hindu population is above 30%, Labour is down 17 percentage points.

Have to laugh at the Telegraph - Labour fall short of 1997 victory.

I don't expect it to temper the joyful panic Reform will unleash amongst the media elite, but turnout is particularly low in the constituencies they won

Think about who generally doesn't vote and what that says about where "the left behind" really are...

Iain Duncan Smith hangs onto his Chingford & Woodford Green seat with 17,000 votes - after Faiza Shaheen and her Labour replacement take 12,000 votes each. Feels like an own goal.

This is what happens when you betray your core vote.

Labour's vote, just 35%, will be the lowest share of the vote won by any single party majority government. Time to upgrade our democracy

Got a feeling not much tactical voting went in this election because it was a foregone conclusion for Labour, and the turnout was crap too

Mel Stride is one lucky foooker too he clung on by less than 100 votes

The fight for the next Tory leader will be interesting now as some of the main contenders have lost their seats.

Does this give Cruella a clear run?

Greens with a fifth of the Labour vote, and way over half the LD vote.

That is an absolutely spectacular result under FPTP - they only really had a chance in a handful of seats - and a huge, huge statement to both the establishment and to Labour.

Magnificent

And a lot of people feel betrayed and disappointed by Starmer.

I certainly did

Labour’s vote share dropped nearly 10% in my constituency, they’ve slacked in London in terms of votes

Badenoch got back in again due to a lack of tactical voting, so it'll probably be between those two.

Labour have got hold of Wales, Scotland and England plus they hold 95% of the mayoral positions. Have they ever been in a more powerful position?

This is what I’ve been waiting for for 5 years lads

If it’s between those two, Tories can say goodbye to power for next 10 years at least

It's absolutely bonkers how much more marginal Britain has become.

With most results in, the average seat majority looks to be about 6,700, down from 11,200 in 2019.

We have a Labour landslide, yet at the constituency level seats are tighter than any point since 1945

Liz Truss tells @BBCRosAtkins why she thinks the Tories lost and seems to blame New Labour: "In our fourteen years in power, we did not do enough to take on the legacy we'd been left."

What??
