Election Day Rumours Thread!
Take all the following information with several handfuls of salt.
Take all the following information with several handfuls of salt.
Runcorn & Helsby:
Very much a coin-toss and could still go either way. Labour thought earlier in week they were *just* ahead (by hundreds, not thousands), Tories also seem to think Labour are ahead, maybe by 1-2k.

Mayoral Races:
LDs close in Hull & East Yorkshire but Reform are still narrow favourites. West of England looks close between Labour and Greens with both Reform & LDs uncomfortably close behind...

...Only good news for CONs is they’re on for a strong win in Cambs. & Peterborough, with Reform 2nd. Labour set to scrape by in N. Tyneside and Doncaster is a toss-up (Mayor sounds better for them than council). Not heard much from Lincs but expect Reform will win there.
Councils:
Bean hearing very mixed messaging regarding turnout, so it will probably be about average for local elections. LDs seem to being doing well across all their target areas, could gain a lot tonight.

Labour worried of large losses to Reform in deprived areas and to Greens/Inds in urban areas (though there aren’t loads up), but might gain some seats in middle-class towns where main opposition is CONs, who are losing votes across the board (as expected).
