Labour will be hoping to take Whitehaven & Workington
Labour didn’t win a single seat in Cumbria in 2019.
Now they have their eyes on taking four Tory seats in a county which has seen significant boundary changes.
Whitehaven & Workington and Barrow & Furness look the easiest to pick off. But Carlisle and Penrith & Solway are also potential gains.
To add to Conservative woes, former Lib Dem leader Tim Farron will expect to win Westmorland & Lonsdale despite facing redrawn boundaries that favoured the Tories.
2019 saw the biggest turnover of seats in our region since the 1930s. 2024 could beat that and see Labour even more dominant than during the Blair years. Four-and-a-half years, it seems, is a long time in politics.
Exit poll suggests Labour victory in Carlislepublished at 22:59 British Summer Time 4 July
Bob Cooper
Political reporter, BBC Cumbria
The exit poll means good news for Labour here in Carlisle, assuming it is accurate of course.
They should be on course to win the seat back from the Conservatives, who have held it since 2010 and are defending a theoretical majority of about 11,000, based on the new boundaries.
Yet Labour activists remain poker-faced here at the city’s civic centre, not wishing to count their chickens too early.
The venue for the count is the Cumberland Council chamber - a room used to seeing impassioned debate about local issues - now bearing witness to election staff focused laser-like on verifying ballot papers.
A result is expected here from about 02:30 BST to 03:00.
