Leave Vote: 23.7%

Sitting MP: Tulip Siddiq (Lab)
Prediction: Conservative gain

Very difficult to predict, even though if it wasn’t in central London, I’d be predicting an automatic Conservative gain. A very small Leave vote here, this result may well depend on whether people vote on Brexit as a single issue. Tulip Siddiq has been a vocal Remain supporter and her best bet is to concentrate on that single issue. If the Tory vote holds up and any Labour votes seep to the LibDems, then Ms Siddiq is toast. I suspect that might well happen.

Majority 2,208 4.7 −2.1
Turnout 46,603 66.9 −0.7

Leave Vote: 41.9%

Sitting MP: Gareth Thomas (Lab)
Prediction: Conservative gain

The Labour vote has been declining here, partly for demographic reasons. The Tories had hoped to take this seat last time, but they are odds on to do so now.

Sitting MP: Matthew Offord
Prediction: Conservative hold

One of those seats that defies predictions and remains Conservative. It will do so again.

Hoi Polloi Geoff Moseley 45 0.1 n/a
Majority 11,058 19.1
Turnout 57,785 72.9 +4.0

Leave Vote: 18.2%

Sitting MP: Catherine West (Lab)
Prediction: Labour hold

If Lynne Featherstone had been standing again here I’d have predicted she would give Catherine West a run for her money, but an 11k majority is surely too much for a LibDem candidate to overturn. Having said that, this has one of the highest Remain votes in the country and if there is enough anti-Corbyn feeling here, you never know.
