Barnsley count winding down

Most of the seats have been announced here today at the Metrodome in Barnsley and the Labour Party have continued to build to its already sizeable majority.

Following the trend across the UK, the Conservatives have suffered many defeats and are yet to have a candidate amass over 400 votes in any ward in Barnsley.

As the final few seats are due to be called, all eyes are on Penistone East for the Conservatives as its primary target.
