Yes, it’s another election thread but as it now draws to a close and we’re on the final straight and for a bit of fun, what seats are you keeping an eye and where do you think they’ll be a surprising change? Who’s on your election bingo card?

For me?

Most of the cabinet is in sweaty bks mode including Rishi so I’ll be keeping an eye on him alongside all cabinet SoS’

Headbangers like JRM, Braverman, Truss, Francois and the other ERG loons.

Clacton and Ashfield for obvs reasons and maybe Great Yarmouth to see if Reform can convert noise to seats.

Islington North to see if Corbyn is as loved by the local electorate as he seems to think he is. (He may be disappointed)

Chingford North. My old stomping ground and an interesting 3 way tussle between Duncan Smith, Labour bod and an ex-Corbynista independent who was expelled from the party but is polling fairly well.

Plymouth has been a pretty dirty fight so let’s see if Mercer’s tactics have done him enough.

Probably a few others that will dawn on me as the night wears on but who in particular are you keeping an eye on?

There's a set amount of seats that matter aren't there? At least when talking about the overall result rather than individual races.

Mine doesn't because it's a Labour stronghold so I guess I'd need to find out which ones are actually in play each election as opposed to never changing.
