The turnout was very poor. Difficult to predict the general election therefore.

Labour overturned a large Tory majority to take Selby. The candidate is only 25, so will be the youngest MP.

The LDs took Frome and Somerset, by a large majority, from the Tories.

The Tories narrowly held Uxbridge (495 votes), thought to be because of the unpopular "Ulez factor".

Not a good night for the Tories, as Ulez won't be a factor in a GE.
