Right everyone. This is an important public service announcement. Our latest data shows there are 36 key seats that will make all the difference in this election. Tactical voting will mean the difference between a majority (Brexit) and hung parliament (referendum). ~JL
We need to vote tactically everywhere - but the election could be decided in a small number of seats by just a few thousand voters. This is the product of an unfair voting system. But every vote counts.

Here they are. Please share widely. ~JL
In order of marginality:

1/ Dewsbury. Please, if you want to Remain, if you want to stop the wilful destruction of a Boris Johnson majority, please: vote @paulasherriff for LABOUR.

She needs 82 tactical votes. ~JL
2/ West Bromwich West.

Please, if you want to Remain, if you want to stop the wilful destruction of a Boris Johnson majority, there are 183 votes in this.

Vote LABOUR. ~JL
3/ Bedford and Kempston. There are just 193 votes here which will stop the seat going Conservative.

If you want to stop Brexit, stop Boris Johnson, vote LABOUR. ~JL
4/ Alyn and Deeside. Just 220 non-Labour Remainers can stop Boris Johnson here.

Please, vote tactically for LABOUR. ~JL
5/ Colne Valley. 256 voters here will help prevent a Tory majority and help keep us in the EU.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
6/ Barrow and Furness. This was held by a Labour MP in 2017. 256 non-Labour voters would deliver it for Labour once again. Nobody else can win it except the Conservatives.

Please, Lib Dems and Greens, you can do this. Please vote LABOUR. ~JL
7/ Bridgend. @MadeleineMoon has been a champion of Remain for well over a year. Just 260 non-Labour Remainers will let her keep the seat and fight for the referendum we need.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
8/ Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock.

This was a Tory gain from the SNP in 2017. Just 299 Labour and Lib Dem voters could help the SNP win the seat back and fight for Remain, and against the Tories, in parliament. Nobody else stands a chance here.

Please, vote SNP. ~JL
9/ Wolverhampton South West.

The Tories will take this seat off Labour unless 379 non-Labour voters help them keep it.

If you want to stop the Tories here, please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
10/ Bassetlaw.

Just 447 non-Labour voters can stop this seat falling to the Conservatives. Lib Dems, the only chance to Remain is by voting Labour in this seat.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
There now follows a short interval. Make some tea. ~JL
I’M BACK

Right. On we go. ~JL
11/ Delyn.

Just 466 non-Labour voters can stop this seat falling to the Tories and Britain falling to a no-deal Brexit.

Please, Lib Dems and Plaid voters, if you want to Remain, vote LABOUR. ~JL

Just 566 Lib Dems can stop this seat falling to Boris Johnson.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
13/ Gordon.

A Lib Dem seat for years, it fell to the SNP in 2015 and Tories in 2017. It is now a straight fight between Tories and SNP.

Please, Lib Dems and Plaid voters, vote LABOUR. ~JL
15/ Stockton South.

Please, vote SNP. ~JL
17/ Sedgefield.

Tony Blair’s old seat used to be one of the safest Labour seats in Britain. Now, unless 1004 non-Labour voters back the superb @VotePhilWilson, it will fall to the Tories. Please, if you want to stop Boris Johnson, lend Phil your vote.

Vote LABOUR. ~JL
18/ Bolsover.

Unbelievably, Dennis Skinner - himself a Leaver - is on course to lose the seat he’s held for 50 years to the Tories. *Nobody else* can win here. If you want to stop Johnson and save the NHS, 1072 Lib Dems must vote for him.

There have been few stronger champions for Remain than @wesstreeting. But this seat will fall to Boris Johnson and the hardest Brexit unless 1,431 Lib Dems lend Wes their vote.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
22/ Putney.

The Lib Dems mounted a strong challenge here but have fallen too far behind to catch up. If 1,481 lend their votes to @CllrFleur, she will help stop Brexit and Johnson. If they don’t, the Remain vote will split and the Tories will win.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
23/ Telford.

26/ Carshalton and Wallington.

Please, for Remain, for the NHS, vote LABOUR. ~JL
31/ Derby North.

This Labour seat is facing even more pressure now the odious ex-MP Chris Williamson is standing against the official Labour candidate. Unless 1,940 Lib Dems and Greens back Labour, this seat is going to the Tories.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
32/ Newcastle under Lyme.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
35/ Wrexham.

This seat has been held by Labour for all but two years since 1935. It will now go to the Tories unless 2,289 Lib Dems, Plaid and Greens coalesce to help Remain, help the NHS, and stop Boris Johnson’s destruction.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
And finally:

36/ Bolton West.

Just 2,454 Lib Dems can help @JulieHilling take her old seat back for Labour. That is the only way we can help save the NHS. The only way we can possibly Remain.

Please, vote LABOUR. ~JL
Please, if you live in these seats or have friends who do - and even if you don’t - share this information on social media, ask other people to share it, tell everyone you know. Every little helps. Only if we work together can we do this. But together we can. ~JL
These are just the top 36 now. Some may go our way, some may not. That’s why we need to vote tactically *everywhere*. We don’t know what’s going to happen on Thursday. We must do everything we can to sack Johnson and save Britain.

Our country is lost. Now let’s take it back. ~JL
