After a 2023 Boundary Commission review many of the constituencies in Yorkshire have undergone changes, with some disappearing all together.

As a result the majorities candidates held after the 2019 general election have been altered to reflect the majorities that would have been achieved in 2019 based on the 2024 boundaries.

Under the new calculations the following seats have the smallest majorities:

• Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley - 1,082
• Sheffield Hallam - 1,108
• Rawmarsh and Conisbrough - 1,257
• Doncaster Central - 1,271
• Halifax - 1,902

Labour party members gathered around screens in the foyer here at the Leeds count were counting down to the exit poll as it was aired on the BBC.

When it came, predicting a whopping Labour landslide of 410 seats, a huge deafening cheer went up.

Labour supporters here are finally daring to dream after 14 years out of power that Sir Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister, and one of their own, Rachel Reeves, could be the next Chancellor

Cllr Fiona Venner and Emma Flint had tears in their eyes as they took in what a monumental moment this is for their party.

Labour is set to win a general election landslide with a majority of 170, according to an exit poll for the BBC, ITV and Sky.

If the forecast is accurate, it means Sir Keir Starmer will become prime minister with 410 Labour MPs – just short of Tony Blair's 1997 total.

The Conservatives are predicted to slump to 131 MPs, their lowest number in post-war history.

The Liberal Democrats are projected to come third with 61 MPs.

The Scottish National Party will see its number of MPs fall to 10 and Reform UK is forecast to get 13 MPs, according to the exit poll.

The Green Party of England and Wales is predicted to double its number of MPs to two and Plaid Cymru are set to get four MPs. Others are forecast to get 19 seats.

The exit poll, overseen by Sir John Curtice and a team of statisticians, is based on data from voters at about 130 polling stations in England, Scotland and Wales. The poll does not cover Northern Ireland.

At the past five general elections, the exit poll has been accurate to within a range of 1.5 and 7.5 seats.

The polls have now closed and counting is set to begin.
