York Outer was a comfortable hold for Conservative Julian Sturdy in a four-horse race.

Mr Sturdy has held the seat since 2010. But it is a Labour target this time round – number 106 to be precise.

It’s probably a good idea to see our starting points! So here’s how all the constituencies voted last time around.

The last general election, in December 2019, saw the Conservative’s Boris Johnson pitted against Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn, and turned out to be a decisive win for the Tories under their ‘Get Brexit Done’ slogan.

Nevertheless, it was a very comfortable victory for Labour’s Rachael Maskell in December 2019.

Good evening. And it could be a very historic evening. Over the next few hours, we will learn whether the polls were right, and whether a new government is about to take power.
