  1. High student population will make this a LibDem gain.

  2. Very risky to bet on this one. Almost inevitably recount.

    Gut feeling that as this a LD tareget, they should take by 1%

  3. I think the LDs are starting to recede now. LAB HOLD

  4. I thought the LDs could come very close here,
    maybe even take it.
    A Tory revival helped kill that off,
    and Labour are clearly too well supported when push comes to shove for the LDs to win.

  5. This was the LDs’ chance & with first-time incumbency, if she does her job well, McKinnell should increase her majority next time.

  6. and the government cuts will harm seats like this much more than the average seat and other marginals in the south.
