Absolutely the only single GE 2017 results thread.

Let's not get too excited about Newcastle Central. I'm afraid it's going to be a bellwether in the sense that there'll be a small but not insignificant drift to Labour in lots of places where they were definitely going to win anyway...
 
Can I just say this:

Newcastle Central turnout has grown from 58% to 67%. That's a 21% of the non-voters last time choosing to vote this time. It's the energising of the previous non-voters that is the key, and this is what a lot of us have been saying ever since Corbyn was elected. Again -- it's that 20% scenario in my swing model that was predicting this exit poll.
 
I saw a cat lying on a Labour poster earlier, that means Corbyn is going to be President of the US too. May as well join in with the omen interpretation eh?
 
Jesus Christ that John Landsman must be one of the most uninspired lefties I have seen for a while , about as much depth and clarity as a muddy puddle.

I saw a member of Team GB from London 2012 in our Tesco's earlier, if we are collecting omens.

Looks similar in Sunderland - safe lab seat, so less of a rise in Lab vote.
 
Sunderland sounds like a Eurovision Song Contest vote from Albania when Katy Boyle was doing it in black and white
