UK Election!

**** Farage has done it.

The man-frog won. Well done Clacton FFS!

Farage gets access to cheap booze and food – result, for him.

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

The original labour candidate got purged for not being a true believer

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

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

bbc have updated the prediction to

lab 405

con 154

ld 56

snp 6

ref 4

oth 25

Ashworth lost to a pro-Palestine independent! Holy f***!

He’s going to strutting around like a toad with dicks.

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.

Jesus **** wept, Farage is an MP. What a disaster.

That’s the people of Gaza saved then?

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

Is it just me or have labour done much worse than everyone was expecting?

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.

Badenoch holds on in NW Essex for the Tories.

I hope she wins too.

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.

lol

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!

Badanoch ready to take over the leadership tomorrow afternoon when Rishi’s plane touches down in California

Just got up. Already pissed about Reform.

I suspect the people of Clacton will also have trouble getting an appointment in another surgery soon…

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

Ah jesus, Reform on 3

JRM gone?!

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?

lol

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.

it’s been revised to 4 predicted

Wiggy fabricant also out.

Bassetlaw now Labour so…bye bye to clarke-smith.

This is the problem reform have, no idea if this guy is still a candidate or will win but they will be mired in scandal from day one.

Michael fabricant and his ludicrous wig have bitten the dust…

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.

Greens have Bristol!

Ha!

“Is it just me or have labour done much worse than everyone was expecting?”

If that BBC forecast is anywhere near correct, the Tory outcome is better than most of the polls were predicting so a bit worse but it is still a very big victory, albeit pretty soft, no great enthusiasm for Labour but a complete rejection of the Tories. The polls and leader’s ratings have consistently been telling us that. Starmer is the least popular person to be elected PM. Labour’s vote will be much more efficient, mainly because the biggest source of their inefficiency – Scotland – has disappeared with the complete destruction of the SNP’s hegemony – are the BBC really predicting 6 wins for the SNP?

Good god Keegan lost by 12k!

Denyer ????

Is it just me or have labour done much worse than everyone was expecting?

Labour appear not to have done as well as all the opinion polls predicted. Plenty of opinion polls were suggesting less than a hundred Tory MPs and only a couple of days ago there was talk of the largest government majority since 1832

However the exit poll is now suggesting a Labour landslide but similar to 1997. Despite Labour only receiving about  36% of the vote.

It is the worse Tory result in 200 years though.
