Morning, Bluesky. Two days and a wake-up until the start of much-needed change in the UK. As there’s some confusion, here’s a tactical voting guide from The Progressive Alliance. Everywhere not mentioned, it’s safe to vote Labour.

Some of these are dubious. No doubt backed up by dodgy bar charts.

South Lakes doesn't seem to be on that list but the split there is between Lib Dem and Tory...?

Still confusion in Central Suffolk and North Ipswich since the suspension of Kevin Craig - Labour website says there is no Labour candidate but clearly all the ballot papers are out. Are any votes in that box for Kevin as an independent or for the Labour party with a vacant MP seat??

the Tories are gone anyway. tactical voting in this election is likely to make the FPTP distortions worse rather than better, while increasing the likelihood that Reform becomes the biggest party on the right. this is an election in which tactical voting is a bad idea

I'm still baffled that a platform of "the Tories but polite" is considered progressive :(

Having wasted my vote in at least two of these in the past, I say Henley and Tewkesbury, go for it! 🤞

North East Fife would like a word. So would a number of other Scottish constituencies. Always check the data and projection, and see how it accords with local factors.

Hi Mark, I realise Scotland mostly doesn't exist for a lot of people but the SNP are second in *every* Tory held seat here, so it is clearly not safe to vote Labour. Vote SNP would be a more accurate summation and may make us feel we're a bit more than an afterthought

It doesn't mention Clacton, where the tactical vote is Tory

No, it is NOT. In South Shropshire there is only ONE party that can beat the Tories and that is the LibDems. A vote for any other party will result in a Tory MP for the country and (more importantly to me) a Tory constituent MP

At least two constituencies there where voting Labour will likely allow the centrist Lib Dems to to take a seat from the progressive SNP. The Lib Dems that were in coalition with the Tories less than 10 years ago.

This is today’s update from StopTheTories. Kenilworth & Southam is not on this list but it’s not clear that Labour is the best tactical vote.

And a fair few places - like my constituency - it's best to vote SNP.

I'm pleased to see North Cotswolds and Tewkesbury on that list but therefore surprised by the ommission of South Cotswolds, which is a much stronger LD prospect than either of those, and recognised as such in every seat predictor (plus local council elections.)
