    Goldsmith won by 45 votes, Kensington is being recounted again after a break. Rudd nearly lost her seat it was that close. I'm sure there are many other similar ones.

    I'm in a Tory safe seat in Hampshire, where they retained 65% vote share. However Labour moved from 3rd place to a convincing 2nd. This affects how the parties will plan and campaign in any further election, especially if we get another one within a year (or 6 months) as I expect.

    I hope the 5,773 people who voted Labour in Richmond Park are all happy with their new MP.

    Indeed, my son voted Lib Dem for that very reason. He's only 18 and it's the second time he's voted. If only 46 more had thought like him. His girlfriend is 18 today and is really annoyed she couldn't vote. She could have cut his majority by over 2%.

    She can vote in the one later this year.

    I think she would have done so anyway when she could, she's quite conscientious about that sort of thing. But the events of the last year or so have politicised her a lot more.

    I'm an idiot. Always have been.

    Alternatively, I may be the one who isn't.
