Scrutable

It's weird watching the trending predictions vs results on the BBC website. Labour is always ahead of the trend (secured 205 of their predicted 405 with less than half the results in) but the Tories have lagged massively ( as I write, 32 of a predicted 154). I know it'll just be an artefact of the particular counts that happen to finish first but it's curious.

Yeah, it happened in 1997 as well. Labour had an overall majority whilst the Tories were way down, on about 80 or so seats.

Therese Coffey!

They overturn a massive Tory majority

Apparently the estimate for getting out the vote is roughly one voter per volunteer per hour, so I'm responsible for maybe 6 voters tops lol. But, like the average football fan, I'm definitely claiming this.
