This may be a little early, but looking ahead to GE2022, it doesn't look like the proposed boundary changes will have gone ahead.

Nor would the proposed changes have made much difference to GE2017 it seems, at least in terms of numbers .... though with the result as close as it was, a slight shift in the balance might have had a disproportionate effect.
"Calculating how the votes cast at the 2017 election would have translated into seats using the proposed boundaries the Conservatives would have won 298 seats (19 less than currently), Labour would have won 244 (18 less than currently), the Lib Dems would have won 8 (4 less than currently), the SNP 30 (five less than currently), Plaid 2 (2 less than currently). As you can see, the Conservatives and Labour would lose about the same number of seats, but the Conservatives would have been nearer to an overall majority and once you’ve taken away Sinn Fein MPs, may have been able to avoid doing a deal with the DUP."
