"I was looking forward to seeing the C4 coverage, but I can’t watch that hateful woman"
Same - lasted about until about 10.15 before switching to the BBC!
Hannah Fry is so much better than Curtice (self promoting Skeletor wannabe)
Do we only like FPTP when it works to minimise numbers of those we disagree with?
Nah I hate it regardless.
Sadly as much as I dislike it a lot of people are being convinced by the rubbish spewed by Farage and friends. The only hope would be that if we did had a proper electoral system the other parties would make more of an effort to help them. Admittedly the problem is this is a accumulative issue of them being ignore for the swing seats so hard to fix. Plus there is also the illogical part of it eg various bits of Wales and Cornwall voting brexit despite the only people giving a vague toss about them being the EU.
**** a duck, Stirling possible flip to tory? WTAF?
The Sky website points out that the exit poll is in 133 constituencies.
"The majority of constituencies are selected because they reflect the battle between the two main parties - Labour and the Conservatives. A smaller number represent battlegrounds between the Liberal Democrats and each of the two main parties".
I'm hoping that means the results for LibDem and Reform are, erm, more fluid.
Is there anywhere to watch the results that doesn't have people that give me the urge to smash my TV? Tried C4 and BBC so far
Channel 4 doing the vox pops. Young people switching from Labour to Reform at the last minute.
Guess we know which votes Labour are going to be chasing for the next 5 years.
For Reform to become a major party, the two main parties must have muppets in their ranks.
David TC Davies has conceded.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
99% labour gain here
Reform wasn’t a factor in 2017 and they’ve gained a third of their voters from labour
5% then, out of Labour’s 40-45%. Neither surprised nor that worried. Yet.
Leadsom acting like a stateswoman !?!?!?!
**** a duck, Stirling possible flip to tory? WTAF?
Labour and the SNP splitting the anti tory vote could let tories in in Scotland. a side effect of FPTP or possibly the old tory / labour anti SNP pact?
Sunak resigning tomorrow as PM?
What are we thinking?
Slow handclap for James Daly. Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out
Sunak will be off to the US ASAP.
Until the results are in I'm enjoying the thought rishi, kemi, cruella could all fall... what ever happens, tonight is a most excellent night.
What are we thinking?
I am thinking he voted labour in the hope he can bin off this experiment with politics completely tomorrow morning . It was fun trying to impress the inlaws and all but overall unsuccessful.
****ing hell Sunderland
Historically over all elections since 1900, the median share of the vote for Labour has been 38%, and 42% for Conservatives. Labour have polled as per historic rate. Conservatives have lost about half of their share. Much of that has been to Reform.
Brexit has destroyed the Conservative Party.
Wow ... Sunderland with Reform in the second place. Approximately 7k plus difference only.
“accidentally”
Tricky.
I would have thought gbeebies would be more likely to announce reform the winners followed by the tories.
Sunderland South announced. Labour 18k, Reform 11k, Tories 5k.
My constituency 99% lab gain.
Sunderland South, that's a cracking result for Reform to come second.
51% turnout in Sunderland. That's disappointing.
51 % turnout 😕
It's worth remembering that the new Parliamentary Tory Party is likely to be less right-wing than the previous one.
The Tories who are most likely to hold on to their seats are those in the traditional deep Tory heartlands, these tend to have more One Nation Tories.
In contrast the Tories most likely to lose their seats are those in the traditional Labour Red Wall seats, these tend to be working class rabid right-wingers like 30p Lee.
1 down! Well done but scary at the same time
Massive vote for Reform! 29%! Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans!
Good call Ernie - fingers crossed.
JRM on BBC, What a **** with his diptych of Churchill and Thatcher behind him
Rees-Mogg is now trying to explain why we're shit and he's correct
Gbeebies have got full behind Reform now. Grifters gotta grift.
Wouldnt recommend their coverage, looks like they spent a tenner in duct tape and an old plasma TV.?
"First flight out of the country 6am more like."
Unlikely I would have thought. Unless he has lost his seat as well. If he has held his seat then he will have to resign his seat and step down before leaving, surely.
Leadsom acting like a stateswoman !?!?!?!
And JRM - what alternate universe have I wandered in to?
"Massive vote for Reform! 29%! Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans!"
That Sunderland South result (Reform 2nd) matches the FT seat predictor. Reform slightly higher, FT predicted 25% and their overall prediction gives Reform 1 seat (Clacton).
He'll do a Dave Cameron. He said he'd stay as MP and LOTO if that was how the poll went but now he'll say that clearly the people have rejected his offering and to stay would be a distraction.
