Genuinely, one of the highlights of my Thursdays. Thanks for the immense effort, every week.
I cannot wait for Super Thursday next week. Will there be a Labour hold?
Having spent many days in the centre of Poole recently, I'm not surprised about its fall from Tory hands. Yes, the constituency includes Sandbanks but hang out in the Dolphin Centre for any length of time and the under investment, vacant shops & the-struggling-to-survive tell a very different story
What's happened to West Dorset?
Any thoughts: The Lib Dems have much to thank Jeremy Corbyn for. His tack to the left swallowed up the Green advances during the coalition years, 2 General Elections provided time for them to re-group & gave them sufficient space from tuition fees etc to become a tactical voting option again
And Maidenhead too!
Well, SW Norfolk, Witney, Henley and Thame plus Uxbridge and South Ruislip all fell! Only Richmond and Northallerton survived!

I was thinking about Witney, but yes, boundary changes make it more complicated. Tactical voting in both seats - to both Labour and Lib Dem's advantage is surely the way ahead.
