Which battleground seats are Labour targeting in the general election?

The Conservatives won a large majority of seats at the last general election in 2019.

So it’s not surprising that much of the focus of the campaign this year is in Conservative-held constituencies that Labour are seeking to capture – especially with the polls suggesting they are on course to make gains.

There will also be a lot of interest in Tory seats where the Lib Dems are the main challengers. Reform UK, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party are also aiming to pick up seats.

At least, that’s the situation in England and Wales. In Scotland it’s a different story. The SNP start from a dominant position, holding 48 of the 57 seats being contested, based on new boundaries.

So it will be seats they’re defending where most of the action takes place.

And in Northern Ireland, of course, it’s different parties contesting the election so the pattern is different again.
