Labour by about 23k votes, an increased majority despite my MP coming out as pro-Brexit which definitely riled a few people up down here. It's never in any doubt rlly, East London's a pretty permanent red zone before you get to the outskirts.
My old uni constituency, Kingston and Surbiton, was taken back from the Tories by the Lib Dems too

Newark here so the Tories unsurprisingly won with a majority of over 18,000.

Home (Kingswood) is still Tory, but there was an 18,000 majority to make up from 2015 so that wasn't a shock. Uni turned red though, I think it went from a slim Tory majority of something like 500 votes to Labour majority of a few thousand (I think it was 5) *.* The Labour candidate was campaigning lots and very visible whereas the former Tory MP defending his seat was suspected of fraud over election expenses and he's got a deserted office near my house here so it wasn't a surprise but still fab to see.

QUOTE(vidcapper @ Jun 10 2017, 11:11 AM)  As for the 'smear campaign', even without it, I don't believe enough hard-working tax-payers would have agreed to have their money stolen to pay for Corbyn's extravagant promises. Nobody earning less than 80k would've seen a tax rise under Corbyn's manifesto. |

Tories (Alok Sharma) held on in Reading West but with a much smaller majority, while Reading East flipped red. My uni constituency Bath flipped from blue to orange *.

Tories, with even more votes than last time. I honestly thought Labour would be back after the 2015 uproar of Balls not getting in.

QUOTE(common sense @ Jun 10 2017, 11:14 AM) Labour huge majority for Stephen Timms who was stabbed a few years ago. One of the highest in the country, even higher than Abbott's I think. I think Timms' majority (in numerical terms) was the highest last time. It has a large electorate, an unusually high turnout for a safe Labour seat and a huge Labour majority in percentage terms. They all add up this time to give him a majority of almost 40,000. Most MPs didn't get anywhere near 40,000 votes. |

QUOTE(vidcapper @ Jun 11 2017, 06:36 AM) Not an *income tax* rise, maybe... Labour promised no VAT or National Insurance rises. Only income tax rises for those earning over £80k and Corporations to what is still one of the developed worlds lowest rates. The Tories admitted during the campaign that they'd raise both NI and VAT. So for the absolute majority of people a Tory government would have lead to tax increases with decreases coming for the 1% as usual. Labour would have seen no increase in tax for the absolute vast majority of people in this country. That be the facts. And I work in Tax for a Big 4 firm so unlike you I actually know what I'm talking about here. |

Tories easily, with 63.6% of the vote - an increase from the 2015 election due to the UKIP vote collapsing.
Labour had the biggest %age increase though, from 15.2% to 22.3%.
