The big picture from the turnout figures so far annouced is that the more an area was for Remain the more people voted yesterday
The results have been verified. 28,438 votes were counted with a turnout of 30.5% in Ashfield pic.twitter.com/BEKjlq1ojZ — Ashfield Council (@ADCAshfield) May 24, 2019 Although there has been no exit or other polling there has been a mass of data from the local authority areas that began verifying the ballots overnight. The big picture so far is in the headline – there’s a correlation between the percentage of those who voted yesterday and what the area did at the referendum….
Frustratingly there’ll be no results or even on the day polls until Sunday at 10pm
Those used to general elections in the UK and the drama of the exit poll coming out they might get a bit deflated to have reached 10 this evening to find the polls have closed and nothing is happening. We will have to wait until 10 p.m. on Sunday evening for the first results to come out. This is because of the strict rules about EU elections that no information on voting can be revealed until such time as as…

On Euro election day it looks as though it is all over for the woman whose only crime was to try to implement the referendum without damaging the economy
With parts of her cabinet now in open revolt it is hard to see how even TMay can now survive. Today being election day at least gives her breathing space ahead of what has appeared likely for some time. The Tory obsession with Europe is devouring another leader. In many ways it would have been better for the party if the July 2016 leadership election had resulted in a leaver taking over the helm of the party though no doubt…
The final Euros polls show a picture that is far from clear
LAB between 25% or just 13% and BRX ranges from 27% to 37% The final polls on the eve of the 2019 Euros look very confusing and it is hard to find a clear picture. The Tories range from 7% to 14% while the LDs are polling between 12% and 19%. Only one on the list had any fieldwork taking place today the rest were all closed yesterday thus not picking up any late swing which we know can happen…
A 2019 general election moves up in the betting as the pressure mounts on TMay
Betdata.io chart of movement on the Betfair exchange One of the big political betting movements this afternoon has been on the timing of the next general election as can been from the chart. As far as I can see the reasoning is that TMay’s time at Number 10 is moving to a conclusion with much talk of a leadership contest before the summer break. The only problem is that a new PM and leader would face exactly the same challenges…
