The biggest batch of previews so far today (I needed to speed up). Seats covered include the big Labour cities of Birmimgham, Sheffield and Leeds but also a wide variety of towns and semi-rural constituencies.

Yorkshire, in particular, is the region where the scale of the coming Tory defeat becomes most obvious. Most of their majorities here are smaller and they are set to lose the vast majority of them.

Some additional resources for those of you that have asked:

Seat declaration times are here (I’ll do a “key moments to watch” list next week)

All the MRPs in easily searchable and comparable form here, thanks to the brilliant work of subscriber Peter Inglesby

Also, as per many requests, I will try and put all these previews in a single searchable post when they’re done and finalised, and plans are afoot for a live updating website on the night itself.
