Yahoo News General Election 2024: Greater Lincolnshire full picture as Victoria Atkins holds onto Louth seat and Reform take Skegness
The votes have been cast and the results are in for Greater Lincolnshire, and the 2024 General Election has seen the Conservatives lose five of the 12 seats they held in 2019 in this region.
In what proved to be a deeply damaging night for the Conservatives nationally, as Labour claimed victory by surpassing the required seat total for a majority by 5am on Friday, it was more of a mixed bag in Greater Lincolnshire. Stalwarts of the party, such as Sir Edward Leigh in Gainsborough, Sir John Hayes in South Holland & The Deepings, and Caroline Johnson in Sleaford & North Hykeham, held onto their seats.
However, some of the Red Wall seats smashed through by Boris Johnson in 2019 have returned back to the hands of Labour, namely Scunthorpe, Great Grimsby & Cleethorpes, and Doncaster East & Axholme. In Lincoln, it was to be the turn of Labour, as they re-gained the seat they lost in 2019. Hamish Falconer defeated Conservative Karl McCartney to ensure the city went red.

The story of the night appears to be in Boston & Skegness, where Conservative Matt Warman lost his seat in a tight battle with Reform UK chairman Richard Tice, who will join his party leader Nigel Farage in the House of Commons.
