UK Election!

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.

Well, the Sky exit poll has Macclesfield at 97% chance of going to Labour. It’s been Tory, and solidly, safely, not a tad marginally Tory, since 1918. Nineteen. Eighteen.

Labour reported to maybe have a smaller share of the vote than they did under Corbyn in 2017

Reform wasn’t a factor in 2017 and they’ve gained a third of their voters from labour

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.

GB News accidentally got the exit poll wrong on the screen and said that the Conservatives had 410 seats and Labour had 131. pic.twitter.com/Etv7wGKVPn

“accidentally”

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.

**** 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.

He won’t be PM, only decision is whether he leads Tories still…

“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.

5.55 am “I’m standing down as leader of the Conservative Party ”

First flight out of the country 6am more like.

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?

Brexit has destroyed the Conservative Party

I mean,as much as I hate Brexit, there is a delightful irony that Cameron’s gamble to save them has ended up destroying them

“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.

I think there’s also some more irony in that their boundary changes and refusal to move to a PR style voting system means they’ve lost loads of votes to reform.
