Here you go: as talked about here, the tacit backroom deal between Labour and the Lib Dems - which both parties deny - is coming into play. Labour is now pulling activists out of Lib Dem target seats across the South which will maximise Tory losses.

They're playing a blinder - timing is perfect. It feels like they're the grown ups and the tories are just spinning on the spot.

I’m okay with way that. It’s for the best under FPTP.

I think Winchester Labour has been sending its people to Southampton Itchen since the election was called. They certainly haven't been seen in Winchester.

Good. They have to be tacit about it or the Tories,and probably Reform will cry foul. Good on them. Fingers crossed for a LD opposition.

Tories will cry, but they and Reform pretty much did the same last GE.

There doesn't have to be a deal for it to be a good idea to concentrate resources where they are most effective.

Seems a sensale move concentrate activists where you can win🤔

In the absence of PR, this is logical. Although to be fair, I live in Tooting, am a Liberal, desperately want to see a Labour government and will probably vote Green. So what do I know🤦

It’s what the supporters of FPTP would want them to do - get one big number. Well done Labour and Lib Dems.

Any way of seeing which seats for those of us without an FT sub? It would be helpful to know before I send my postal vote.

My seat is almost neck-and-neck Tory/Lib Dem and can confirm Labour is the only party I've seen nothing from at all. I mean they've never done well here, but it's kind of striking

It's such an obvious thing to do to the ultimate advantage of both Labour and the Libdems. I was otherwise beginning to think the electorate were being left to work out tactical voting for themselves, supported by TV websites.

What a masterstroke of timing. The Tories have beaten themselves with basic campaigning mistakes, caught in a pincer between Farage and internal ill discipline. Now finally, an anti Tory coalition shows no mercy and provides the coup de grâce 🤺

You know it makes sense! We're in a Tory seat that will hopefully/probably go Labour. I saw a poster for the Greens today and almost felt like knocking on their door and saying don't you know you need to vote tactically, green is a wasted vote here!

Good. I wonder if even Labour realises that Davey in opposition could be beneficial over the Tories. Actual discussion in parliament could be transformative. It could also be a stepping stone to consensus politics.

Less of a backroom deal, more like realistic targeting/common sense based on polling & situation on the ground. I mean #Labour aren't going to win eg Goldalming & Ash, so they'd be better off leaving the #LibDems to it & having Surrey Lab activists go to a Lab/Con marginal.

Leaving aside efficiency - ie there is almost zero overlap in target seats - the second best outcome for each party is that the other takes a seat off the Tories. Labour's game is to finish first, ahead of the Tories. The LD game is to get as close to second as they can. Every Tory loss helps both.
