    I've been checking out one of the tactical voting websites and they have listed the predicted vote share in every seat based on the latest polling data. I must admit I feared much worse. The Brexit Party are clearly going to save the day for Labour if these figures are accurate.

    Barnsley East

    Conservative: 31%
    Labour: 42%
    Lib Dems: 6%
    Brexit: 20%
    Green: 2%

    Barnsley Central

    Conservative: 28%
    Labour: 45%
    Lib Dems: 6%
    Brexit: 18%
    Green: 3%
    Other: 1%

    Penistone and Stocksbridge (formerly Barnsley West & Penistone)

    Conservative: 39%
    Labour: 37%
    Lib Dems: 8%
    Brexit: 16%

    Angela Smith's Labour majority was squeezed to just 1,322 in Penistone and Stocksbridge last time and it looks the likeliest Barnsley-ish seat to fall to the Tories. Smith is now standing for the Lib Dems in Altrincham & Sale West, a strange choice as her new party came a distant 3rd in that seat with just 4,051 votes at the last election.

    I don't think the Brexit Party will save the Day. Local people won't vote Conservative.
