They've basically ignored seats they already held

They've sent their staffers anywhere with a Tory majority, more focused on where that majority is in a range of about 5-6k to about 18k (that's an oversimplification but about right).

So I'm not that surprised that their vote in the seats they already had isn't that different.

Tories have focused on seats where they had a majority of ~13k++, again an oversimplification and there are counteraxamples here and in the Labour case. But broadly, the Tories have been looking to limit the size of the Labour majority all along and Labour have been more interesting in taking seats they don't have than hanging on to the ones they've already got.

Obvs this will be very different the next time around.
