Analysis: Labour's Merseyside dominance continuespublished at 05:28 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019
Claire Hamilton
Merseyside political reporter, BBC NewsLabour still controls all but one of the Merseyside's 15 seats.
Only Southport - which was retained by the Tories' Damien Moore - provides a splash of blue on the electoral map.
History has also been made in the Liverpool Riverside constituency - Kim Johnson becomes the city's first black MP.
Reports of Wirral West being on “a knife edge” - and potentially a major scalp for the Conservatives - proved to be exaggerated. Labour focused a lot of boots on the ground for Margaret Greenwood’s campaign and that has paid off.

Analysis: Labour suffer in Leave-voting Lancashirepublished at 04:58 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019
Mike Stevens
Lancashire political correspondent, BBC NewsThere was talk of Labour losing support in pro-Leave seats here in Lancashire and that’s definitely been the case.
Each of the three Conservative gains - Burnley, Blackpool South, and Hyndburn - have come in areas where two-thirds of people voted to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum.
Lancaster and Fleetwood remains red, albeit with a reduced majority, and for that there will be some sighs of relief.

End of twitter postAnalysis: Labour cling on in Weaver Valepublished at 04:49 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019
James Mountford
BBC Radio MerseysideQuite a change of mood here in Weaver Vale.
An exit poll earlier gave the Tories a 99% chance of snatching this seat from Labour.
But as the ballot papers were counted, it became clear things were not so clear cut.
When deputy acting returning officer Mark Wynn said he wanted to give the candidates a private ‘provisional result’, ahead of a partial recount, it was clear from the emotion in Mike Amesbury’s camp that the outlook for Labour had changed for the better.
In the end, he beat the Conservatives' Adam Wordsworth by just 562 votes.
This really is a super marginal seat - in three of the last four general elections the result has been decided by less than a thousand votes.
