Simple Math. Labour is on 2/3rds of the vote they got last time (according to the polls) while the LibDems are on 3/2nds of their vote last time. Notionally this would put the two parties into a close tie, but the reality of the shifts in voting is that Labour is a bit higher than that, the LibDems a bit lower; plus the fact that the LibDems usually do over perform in the polls by a slight margin, spells a narrow but clear Labour win in this seat. |

LDs are up 7% nationally, but up 11-12% in the North-East, Yorkshire and East Midlands, with the Labour vote down 10-14% in the same regions (8% nationally). That additional regional swing makes this one neck and neck, although the Guardian is saying it would be enough for the LDs to sweep Newcastle. TCTC. |

If LibDem retain their currently momentum, they might have an outside chance of picking this one up, but that is unlikely. |
