#GE2017: 6 key seats that could see Tories edge out Labour

As postal votes pour in ahead of Thursday’s UK general election, officials from the major parties are examining sample data – and it seems the Conservative Party has tweaked its tactics accordingly.

Theresa May and other cabinet ministers have been touring the North West, energized by the return of sample votes as they bid to gain seats in Labour’s traditional strongholds.

Here are some the key seats that could fall into Conservative hands.
