They have racist grandma talking now
Dorres is trying to sound intelligent
"There will be a lot of dissatisfied Labour people going into Parliament because Labour didn't get the lead it was predicted".
Not with a 280 seat majority they won't be dissatisfied, Nads!
Such a huge majority will prove a discipline problem for Starmer. As there is no chance the government will lose a vote, MPs will feel free to kick off and vote against party lines.
Loving Nadine trying to play the victim card!!! Sexist comment - **** off.
Very surprised if Reform scores anything like 13 seats.
Labour needs to deliver or they will last for one term only.
The wave of change is coming to the West and the ride will be rough.
At some point in the future Reform will be in govt if people are fed up with the two main parties.
Widdecombe's gonna kark it before results at this rate.
Looks like the mad old Reform trout seems to think they’ve won a majority

and a 53% of not winning
I'm a glass half empty type, to a fault.lol

Is it wrong to be hopeful? Would that be a bigger moment than hunt getting the boot
I'm enjoying this Genny Lex so far...
A couple of things.
There are Tories out there that I can disagree with their methods, but their hearts and objectives are not unreasonable - they want everyone to do well but they think centre right policies are the way to do it. I disagree, but they are not bad people. There are also JRMs who I think are just bad people.
so Mefty if you have a good one, fair enough.
Second, 13 Faragistas might be great. They will be a disgrace and probably forced to resign one after another. Not bad for the UK overall.
PS - about blinking time we saw these charlatans off. May the exit poll be accurate.
Kuenssberg is looking particularly sour-faced on the Beeb. It must be difficult for her - from the heady heights of being Dominic Cummings' spokesperson to probably scrabbling around for a few gigs on Beeb Two. Vile woman.
Widdecombe sounds like she'll be dead before the final count is done!
Would that be a bigger moment than hunt getting the boot
131 seats... he'll be one of them
So does this quality as a supermajority then?
As all the hard work is now starting, can I just send all the best to everyone doing the counting tonight.
It looks like my turnout prediction was very wrong, which I'm more than happy about, so it sounds like they're all going to be very busy.
Can't believe people are willingly watching Dorries.
Is the reason we don’t have some new fangled phone/online voting ‘cos we’d then not have these action packed picture-in-picture scenes of the frantic counting folk of the north east trying to win a none-existent counting prize?
RM.
A fitting tribute to our new leader, only 1min long and rather amusing
As some of the very last polls showed Reform winning 13, thar part of the exit poll isn't a huge surprise - but is both concerning and disappointing.
At about 5pm today Labour sent a text saying that about 100 seats were too close to call and wanted everyone available to help get the vote out; don't know if that was a genuine concern or a bit of scare-mongering.
Is Widdecombe Farage's mother??
"13 for reform? Shit the bed."
That's 13 places where house prices will (probably continue) to fall as decent people move out and they become proper Reform heartlands. Sigh.

also rebellions will have little power - so the threat of a rebellion can be ignored
I seem to be getting coverage specific to Wales from the BBC, are we all seeing regional programmes?
I was going to stay up firstly to watch Laura Kuenssberg spiral into a pit of despair and Lord BucketHead making a well deserved break through.
Just shy of '97 majority, and loveless landslide is a bit harsh, but not disappointing. Have to accept reform getting something from helping to take down the Tories, as much as the thought of Farage sitting in parliament disgusts me. Good on lib Dems and greens, and SNP potentially getting a shellacking...if it all transpires of course.

That sort of makes democracy look better though. You can have people showing off their consciences without your party actually losing.
@tjagain - I've also abstained for the first time. I can absolutely understand that it's possible not to want to supoort any of the parties/candidates. My hope is that a bloodied SNP will re-focus back onto the independence question, after a bit of a clear out. However, I'm not expecting anything to change soon.

I disagree strongly with this. The tory party has one reason for existing - to keep power and wealth in the hands of the powerful and wealthy. Any party member is a part of this - the deliberate cruelty and impoverishment of the poor old and unhealthy is deliberate. they have blood on their hands. sure some have the capacity for self delusion but that does not make them decent people.
Dorries is a truly ****ing hideous person...but we already knew that.

There were - not now.

Our local Labour candidate was down our street with a gang of followers at 6pm this evening, first time I've seen anyone out canvassing, and the first leaflet I've received throughout the whole thing. There were 8 candidates on the ballot, not heard of 6 of them before today!
Ta Scotroutes. One side effect if they really do lose all those seats is perhaps some repatriation of talent back north of the border
I am very disappointed that Tory are projected 131 AND reform 13
I anticipated a much lower number for the Tories in the event of reform performing well. Much much lower.
Let's see how it pans out.
