Ynys Môn will be fiercely contested in a three-way fight between Labour, Plaid Cymru and the Conservatives, who claimed the seat in 2019. It is the only Welsh seat not affected by a boundary review as it was given protected status as an island.

The boundaries of all but one Welsh seat have changed ahead of the 2024 election, only Ynys Mon (the island of Anglesey) remains untouched, all others have seen changes which could impact the results on election night. You can read the background to the changes here.

Instead of 40 constituencies, there are now 32 in Wales and the idea behind it is to make all Westminster constituencies the same size.

Goodbye, Galloway. This was a triumph for Israel
British politics has hardly covered itself in glory in recent years. After the shame of the Corbyn years was punctured by the glorious Tory victory of 2019, we were subjected to a veritable gallery of disgrace: soaring immigration, Covid authoritarianism, Partygate, the Truss-Kwarteng interregnum, Gaza fanaticism. But the true nadir was the election of George Galloway in Rochdale.

The polls got it wrong again, overestimating Keir Starmer
Few things in British politics seem familiar this morning. So it’s a welcome feature of this election that the pollsters have seemingly, once again, got it wrong. They overestimated the Lib Dems in 2010. They failed to spot a Tory majority in 2015. They largely didn’t foresee Brexit or Theresa May losing her majority. Now add to that list the apparent overestimation of Labour’s lead.
