Twickenham (& Richmond Park,Windsor)
I think the real breakthrough the Tories have had this year is not just the consistent 40+, it’s the gains in the north west and Yorkshire.
That didn’t happen last year (South Ribble being a strong exception), even with the 900 gains. Impressive though those were in 2007, they tended to be in the smaller authorities where all the seats were up. It still didn’t point to an overall majority last year.
Moray likely to be SNP held given their strength at the moment. There was a time recently where Labour looked mildly credible here, and the Tories probably too far behind here.
