Tories win over working class voterspublished at 04:50 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Professor John Curtice
Polling expertTheresa May's avowed bid for working-class support in the election appears to have been relatively successful - it is just that there weren't enough of them to deliver victory for the party.
The Conservative vote is traditionally higher in more middle class parts of Britain.
The party's vote is up by just 2 points in the constituencies with the lowest proportion of working-class voters. In contrast, the party's vote is up by no less than 9 points in seats with the highest proportion of working-class voters.

Soubry: Theresa May should 'consider her decision'published at 04:46 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Election 2017
Conservative former minister Anna Soubry says Theresa May has to "consider her decision" following "a pretty dreadful campaign".
Asked if Mrs May should go, she says: "That is a matter for her - it's bad," adding: "I think she's in a very difficult place."
On the election, she says: "I'm afraid we ran a pretty dreadful campaign." Asked what went wrong, she says: "Where do you want me to begin? It was a dreadful campaign."
She says the messaging on social care and school lunches "was appalling".
The U-turn on social care was a "very serious blow" for Theresa May.
Ms Soubry, formerly small business minister, says it was Mrs May's "group who ran this campaign".
"She put her mark on this campaign, she takes responsibility," she says.
