Labour always get more seats earlier on since they tend to have urban
constituencies whereas the tories have the rural ones.

Makes sense.

(massive generalisation of course - look how early the Caithness etc one
declared...)

Sure, but looking at the map that does seem to be the case:

What's not clear is, with only 5 seats to go, why Kensington hasn't
declared. It's a safe Tory seat so unlikely to have multiple recounts and
there are no logistical issues with getting the ballot boxes to the count.
Perhaps they have a lie in and don't bother to count overnight :-)

seems I was wrong

5th recount
