Well it's a good LibDem area, but also a very strong Tory area.

[Suburbia]

Who won Doncaster North?

[Gass3268]

44 seats left, Conservatives essentially need half to get a majority with the DUP. Do they get there?

[Lachi]

Who won Doncaster North?

Labour.

[Kamala]

Who won Doncaster North?

Ed Milliband. with 60+% of the vote.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

What of Caroline Lucas?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I've been watching BBC all night, they sound like they're to Tories left and Labour's right, like they'd be Lib Dems.

[Kamala]

Who won Doncaster North?

Dave Milliband. with 60+% of the vote.

Ed, not Dave, according to the BBC website

Fixed. Oops

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

What of Caroline Lucas?

They have yet to make a declaration for her constituency (Brighton Pavillon).

[Lachi]

What of Caroline Lucas?

She'll win, because it's Brighton.

NE FIFE - LIB gain from SNP, MAJORITY OF 1 VOTE

[Classic Conservative]

Tories gain Stoke-On-Trent South from Labour

[Kamala]

If there is a second election in the autumn, who is favored to win? Well, of course, as we see, everything can change, but who starts out with a better shot to win a majority?

Oh my...

[LimoLiberal]

Stoke on Trent South to the Tories as a gain.
Third recount in Newcastle under Lyme. Seems to be separated by only 40 votes.

HOLY SH*T, LOL

[Tintrlvr]

Is Richmond Park a strong Lib Dem area?

Could be. Definitely a seat where they have a good shot, anyway.

It was a solid LD seat until 2010, when the Tories ran Zac Goldsmith, then most known for his environmental activism, who unseated the LD incumbent. Goldsmith got a huge majority in 2015 as the LD vote collapsed without an incumbent (and generally across the country). But Goldsmith was also very pro-Brexit in a seat that is one of strongest Remain constituencies in all of Britain. In 2016, he stood down and ran for re-election in a by-election for stupid reasons (to protest the government's support for a new runway at Heathrow), and the LDs were able to make the by-election about Brexit instead, and they humiliated Goldsmith and won the seat back on an enormous swing. The new LD incumbent, Sarah Olney, has proven quite popular and effective, but Goldsmith is running again, and it's less than clear that the circumstances that carried Olney to victory in the by-election (such as tactical squeezing of Labour) will hold again.

Should have results soon.

LD a head in fife north east by a 1 vote

Labour would never make it all the way to 326, but they could definitely get close enough to form a coalition with SNP.

They already had several, apparently.

They will probably have one more, just to be absolutely sure.
