The BBC seem peculiarly interested in this seat, both back at the locals and now, I’ve heard it referenced several times and today a full profile on the news.

Not surprising when Labour gained control of Rushmoor council (which this seat covers the entirety of plus Yateley East ward in Hart) and when a historic Labour gain is on the cards despite the constituency's substantial military vote. |

Not really a surprise as it has been Tory for 100 years or so and is now considered marginal. Swindon is also getting attention as it is deemed a bellwether. Also some of the ex-Labour red wall seats will be covered. |

Of course they only went to Aldershot itself, which is not even the largest town in the constituency. So it isn't a full profile as such.

And Rachel Reeves was in Farnborough last week. |

There are certainly signs of an election taking place in Aldershot, with a growing number of red placards outside houses.
To be fair, my observations (in this constituency) have been limited to the town of Aldershot (which traditionally has some signs of a Labour seat - ethnically diverse population and high deprivation in some wards). Farnborough - the larger town - will be key; again, the local elections point to some promising progress from Lab. It'll be a tough nut for Lab to crack still, especially with the addition of true blue Yateley; but I wouldn't write off a spectacular gain in this corner of Tory Hampshire.

If Ilkley can make their way on to the constituency name (Keighley and Ilkley), then Farnborough definitely should. |

stb12 I know you've been asked a lot, often unnecessarily so, but since Keir Starmer was here today saying this seat could be within a few hundred votes, could we take his advice and get a poll? (And possibly in Basingstoke as well - both straight Con Hold/Lab Gain) 😎

Basingstoke is a little easier than this one but would still be reasonable enough in terms of having a poll. (Although it would still be the first time Labour has won Basingstoke, if so - though Labour would have won the seat in at least 2001 if they had been able to contest it on the boundaries which came into force in 2010.)
