I doubt he had anything like this kind of opponent last time around.

he’d have had more people standing against him.

4 of the candidates got less than 80 votes!

I guess that Andrew Feinstein, a leftie pro-Palestinian Jew, has eaten into Starmer's vote. How embarrassing for him.

how the &*^% has ids kept his seat !

Ideological purity.
The original labour candidate got purged for not being a true believer but, sadly, decided not to accept the glorious leader pronouncement and stood as an independent.
Completely self inflicted by the glorious leader and his team.

Yup, and it was supposed to be very close!

I'm really pleased that Corbyn has won. He might be a useless **** but at least he is generally right about most things.

The people of Clacton won't hear a peep from him once his circus rolls out of town.

It pains me to say it - Farage is nailing his talking points and setting out his stall for the next five years. Ffffff...

I'm quite proud of the leftie voters in London tonight. I'm hoping that Diane Abbott's share of the vote goes up to 8O% That would round things off very nicely.

Jess Philips might be in trouble if the independent pro Gaza vote is that strong. That'd be a true loss to politics

Yep, that's a surprise to say the least.

As for Farage, let's see how the work ethic holds up, not to mention the scandal.

I've just heard him claim that he will do his best to bring more tourists to Clacton. I would love to know how he intends to do that. I have never been to Clacton to and I'm not feeling the urge.

Updated forecasts looks better, don't think labour are doing worse, but exit poll bit lower than final polls. The scale of labour and lib dem gains are pretty big!
Edit: reform on 4 is better!

This in spades. Only won a 3k majority. She'll be a disaster for them.

Ah jesus, Reform on 3

3 so far, 13 predicted. A few more and we will have a "scandal" of Reform MP's.

No it represents less friends for Israel in the UK parliament. And right now the greatest crisis Israel is facing is loss of friends globally.

Although I don't quite understand how anyone would trust a politician who doesn't condemn genocide to represent them in parliament. That must be a litmus test of their moral judgement surely?

Tory seats at the upper end of polling estimates. Starmer’s majority cut in two, Ashworth defeated, Corbyn winning, labour majorities down across the board. It might be a landslide in seat numbers but doesn’t look great for 2029.

She got purged for shitposting online about the “Jewish lobby”.

Do you have a link please?
Since the closest I can find is she liked a Jon Stewart sketch about the "Israel lobby". Now at the risk of pointing out the obvious a)thats not "shitposting" and b)leaping from "Israel lobby" to "Jewish lobby" is a bit problematic.
