I can't believe they've held onto that many seats if I'm honest, quite the worst government in my lifetime, capable of the most divisive, nasty policy decisions, actual lives lot due to them and their austerity, it's safe to say I loathe them.

Goes to show just how terrible they have to be for people to give someone else a go

SNP is biggest surprise for me. Thought they'd lose a lot of seats for the scandals but the independence think would keep them pretty strong. Now won't even have the most seats in Scotland by the looks of it!

Swinnie has been busy blaming the postal vote for a while now, he probably knows it’s grim

 

[SBAndy]

As much as it pains me to say, I’m glad that the Tories still have a chunk of seats (probably 20-30 too many for an ideal!) as any further regression would have emboldened Reform more than they feel currently.

We'll see if they're critical in a couple of seats I'm sure!!

aye, Labour have won if the poll is correct most of the seats they can win. if the tories had lost more they were likely reform gains

 

[Ashdown]

People do realise that Starmer and his cronies will only really have the same amount of governmental revenues to spend as the outgoing fools. When push comes to shove apart from a bit of ‘culture of envy ‘ spite ….that never actually reaches the properly wealthy people then there won’t be that much discernible change ?!

130 Tory f*cking seats

Kind of blows my mind that people look at the state of the country and the state of the government and think let's have 5 more years of this. Even my Mum, a Thatcher loving, Daily Mail reading lifelong conservative voter has switched to Labour for the first time in her life.

 

[chiefdave]

Kuenssberg less than half an hour in and has already called Sunderland Newcastle. Bet they loved that.

They just said the exit poll in Scotland is maybe less accurate. Hope not

I’d rather it if the Lib Dems became the opposition to be honest

Ah shit, back in 5 while I go and get my ballot paper back.

This result has been set for a year or more really, they country must be really stuffed, I'm not sure Rishi didn't call it knowing full well he'd be stabbed by the nutter's, they really should have handed it over years back AFAIK!!

 

[chiefdave]

How did this thing of certain places racing against each other to do their count start? seems such an odd thing to do

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Reform getting 13 though is more than expected

Yes I completely agree

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Exit poll has Labour just over 400, Tories 130.

Imagine how many it could have been had Starmer said what he thought…

First challenge: can he answer what a woman is?

Why is everyone shitting themselves about Reform?

 

[David O'Day]

Yes I completely agree

The MRPs have been saying they could get much, some places are still very right wing and very brexity

 

[oakey]

Midlands showing biggest swing against the Tories. Looking good for Labour in Black country.

It will require forensic examination.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How long before vlad's boys on twitter are claiming a fix?

Next few months - democracy is dead
Starmer has no mandate
Reform have been cheated out of seats

 

[Liquid Gold]

SNP corruption has fucked them

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Have you seen what the Tories are polling?

They are despised by the vast majority of the population. Their base is dying off.

It will take an absolutely monumental fuck up by Labour (partygate-esque) for the tories to get back in and I just don't see that happening because they are sensible, competent people.

Bearing in mind Reform are projected to hit 13 seats, the ‘right wing’ vote is not too far behind the Labour vote.

A majority of this proportion should see Labour in government for 10 years but if they’re complacent, they too could be overturned at the next election.

The tories winning 131 seats on polling leading up to today, can be considered a ‘decent’ result for them.

 

[JAM See]

Quite happy with the landslide.

Just waiting to see whether...

[email protected] hangs on.

Hopefully not.

Isn't basically Sunderland vs. Newcastle? They'll fight over anything

it's almost as if most people care about their lives a lot more than should trans people have what rights

Will be interesting to see split/share of vote.

 

[skybluetony176]

Oddly the Tories seem to have had good success in Scotland defending their seats according to the exit polls.

Oh dear.

yeah, there is an anti independence vote there where floating voters will vote for the unionist party best placed to win

 

[Liquid Gold]

Exit poll Green on 2 I think means here in Briz has swapped

Unionists will support Labour or Tory depending on likelihood of winning. As I mentioned though someone was saying Scottish exit poll might not be as accurate

Good to see that ghoul Debonnaire out.

Either that or there was a place in East Anglia that some MRPs predicted might go Green. Or both and they have lost Brighton Pavilion so be interesting to see.
