Labour says it's seeing 'significant impact from turnout and voter complacency' in London. Source: 'There are still half of London boroughs to count and it’s too early to say anything with any certainty at this stage'

From our @skynews election team. Analysis of England councils results so far tells a very clear story: Conservative vote up most in areas that voted by more than 55% to Leave the EU

[Tim Bale @ProfTimBale]

One of the best threads this morning, IMHO.

[Curtin&Co @Curtinandco]

This is probably THE big story...

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Latest from Sir John Curtice: In places last contested in 2016, there is a swing of 10 points from Labour to Tory in places where relatively large numbers of people have no qualifications, whereas there is a slight swing to Labour in places with a large number of graduates.

[Ben Page @Benpagelondon]

British politics used to be about class. It is now about social conservatives versus social liberals. Discuss

[James Kanagasooriam @JamesKanag]

Current Tory hegemony in England is driven by paradox that Remainy Wessex is economically more right wing than socially liberal, but huge swathes of Midlands / North are more socially Conservative than they are economically left. That’s why Darlington is blue & Windsor isn’t red

🚨 20 fire engines on the scene of a fire at New Providence Wharf in East London this morning.

The building’s still covered in ACM cladding - the same type as was on Grenfell. Awaiting updates. @LBC

Some interesting geopolitics at play here

This cheered @Curtinandco’s @Riverside_Nick ...

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Overnight Liberal Democrats gained 4 seats from Labour in Sunderland.

Well done @WearsideLibDem

[Curtin&Co @Curtinandco]

Though this helps explain it ...

[Stephen Bush @stephenkb]

Sunderland results continue to have very little to do with its Brexit position! The local Lb Dems don't run on Brexit, but on the poor Ofsted rating for local services, the convicted paedophile ex-councillor & the former council leader who may or may not have murdered someone.

[Curtin&Co @Curtinandco]

This is interesting...

Planning reforms will give communities more power over building design — and give architects less power, says @RobertJenrick

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced an immediate stamp duty holiday on all property sales in England and Northern Ireland up to the value of £500,000 until March 31st 2021. The previous threshold was £125,000.

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

NEW: Sunak confirms he is temporarily cutting stamp duty until March next year with immediate effect. No stamp duty paid on properties below £500,000

[Curtin&Co @Curtinandco]

Stamp duty cut is welcome. Much need help for the building and construction industry #SummerStatement
