UK Election!

Coffey in the HoL is a motherflipping outrage

My prediction for Scotland a month ago looking not bad.

“Predictions for Scottish seats in the election.

Labour 38

SNP 8

Tories 6

LibDems 5”

Scottish politics thread

Chris grayling too ffs
Edit: getting a peerage

Come on, I want to hear about Moggy so I can go to bed, I suspect he’s held on, anyone know anything?

Cooper has held on. Phew.

Its not dissimilar to most Victorian seaside resorts in the UK at a high level.

Pretty sure it’s the only place i’ve ever seen teaspoons chained to the table of cafes.

Well deserved though.lol

Lol!

I think they are now going to become a a byword for racism and bigotry – maybe that will result in more tourists?

another revision on the predictor

LAB 410

CON144

LD 58

SNP 8

REF 4

OTH 26

Is there anyone who’s sat round the cabinet table, no matter how briefly and uselessly, over the last 14 years who hasn’t been given a seat in the House of Lords?

Very pleased to see Reform projection going down.

I guess we know which seaside town will host their annual conference.

Some suggestions that truss is out – no declaration yet.

At a local level – jenrick re-elected in my constituency with massively reduced majority; was 21,000+, now 3,500; hugely disappointing. More later.

Streeting won by 528! Blimey. Tbf if think he’s an appalling politician. I prefer a significant amount of Tories

LAB another 45 seats for a majority

I note thé news is very quiet on Sunak. Surely not?!

Hunt hangs on. Another leadership tilt coming up, or has he had enough?

Surely not?!

Not.

Rishi looks like he just shat himself

Rishi comfortably holds. Working remotely from California?

Damn.

And sunak concedes!

The person that I wanted to win a seat this election more than anyone else was Leanne Mohamad.

I didn’t really think she stood any chance against Wes Streeting but she actually got within 500 votes of defeating him.

I am truly staggered and I can’t quite believe how Londoners have voted in this election. Makes me truly proud, especially when considering how Reform UK are doing in the Red Wall seats.

The great thing about Leanne Mohamed is that she is still very young and talented. She will learn a lot from this election and I have no doubt that she will defeat Wes Streeting in 2029.

sunak wins.

The haunted pencil is gone!

Did CH4 just say they heard mogg might have lost?

Surprised at Jennrick, had high hopes he’d go.

Low turnout is a surprise – shows the level of apathy in the country? Disappointed Tories abstaining? Disappointed Labour complacent/not holding their nose?

The Victorian pencil is gone!!!!!

Holy cow! That’s the scalp. Right there.

Christ Harriet Harman is a literal personality vacuum

Annoyed that Jeremy *unt hasn’t gone.

well the tory stronghold in devizes is no more (lib dems have won it with 39.1% share 😀

**** a man woohoo (if you can guess i voted lib dems).

the tories have held devizes for as long as i can remember and i’m 49 now but not any more lol.

*well i am still 49 but you know what i mean ha.

Nice speech from Hunt, to be fair. Some humility and decent words to Labour and on democracy.

Shame he got to make it.

Waiting for my constituency to be called, lib Dems have done very well elsewhere…

The Victorian pencil is gone!!!!!

Is that official? Think he’s the one I hated most, on a purely personal basis.

Astonished Streeting nearly lost. That would’ve been the icing on the cake.

Wes Streeting’s share of the vote dropped by 21% compared to 2019. And I thought that 2019 was a really bad election for Labour?

That’s terrible to happen to one of Labour’s biggest guns. He must have the smallest majority so far this evening. Another embarrassment for Starmer.

@colournoise @poopscoop – secondary school with a VI Form in the north east.

it’s **** carnage !

Streeting is so obviously going to be the first Cabinet casualty in the new government.

Streeting, jess Phillips. What?
