In a rout, there are sometimes people who stand firm and do not give ground. In Manchester this morning, the Labour supporters in Manchester Withington did just that.

Bury North has swung blue, with James Daly overcoming the 4,500 majority picked up by Labour’s James Frith in 2017.

Labour’s Yasmin Qureshi maintained her seat at Bolton South East for the fourth consecutive occasion with 21,968 votes and a 8,050 majority.

Cheadle provided the most interesting and closely run seat of the night at the Stockport Town Hall count, as Conservative Mary Robinson was re-elected to the seat with a relatively slim majority, making it even closer than the 2017 battle for this seat.

Afzal Khan has cemented his position as the Labour Member of Parliament for Manchester Gorton, garnering over 34,000 votes.

Labour’s Jonathan Reynolds survived a scare from the Conservative party to be re-elected in Stalybridge & Hyde.

Labour has held on to the seat of Denton and Reddish for another election, one of few spots in the Red Wall that has stayed intact in an election of decimation for Labour.

After a turbulent night for the Labour party nationally, there was celebration locally for MP Kate Green as she retained her seat in Stretford and Urmston.

In the weeks running up to this very wet and windy General Election, Bolton North-East was listed as one of the too-close-to-call seats that might swing the result nationally.

Labour held on to Oldham West & Royton despite a disastrous night nationwide for the party.

Conservatives disrupted the red heartland by 1,965 votes in Leigh, as elected Tory MP James Grundy attacked Jeremy Corbyn and Labour’s pro-Brexit stance for the party’s historic loss.
