[Brighton Sky Blue]

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

Because outside of the central belt there’s a lot of socially conservative Scots who feel alienated by what the SNP’s turned into. NE Scotland especially.

The Reform idiot on sky news now , what an absolute whopper

BBC ITV OR SKY? I’m watching ITV

5live here. Sat in the kitchen with all three on the laptop, hard to concentrate on any of them.

And equally disillusioned with Scottish Labour

The Tories are going to have to do some serious soul searching. Certainly on a seats count according to the exit poll the phoney culture war bullshit rabbit hole they went down is not an election winner. vote share you can only assume will confirm that too.

51% turnout in Sunderland and reform easily in second

tories 3rd in first sunderland seat

Lib Dem chap wearing a Sunderland shirt with a suit jacket, arguably the actual biggest offence committed by a politician in the last decade.

That Sunderland result is a boon for Reform. Was a good indicator in the Brexit vote

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Reform got a lot of votes in that Sunderland seat.

Yeah. It’s a worry.

Hope he lost his deposit.

Make it come home

We only win international tournaments under a Labour government.

 

[David O'Day]

Or ban it?

can't, there's folk who would be naked overnight

 

[shmmeee]

Think we might see a few surprise reform seats.

That's a huge worry for the Tories

Well, yer man was just saying they could’ve underguesstimated their result from the exit poll.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

The absolute lizard that is Reece-Mogg on now , hope he loses his seat and finally has to wipe his own arse for a change

aye, there will be a few tories sweating

I bet even nanny didn't vote for them this time.

Though he does want 16+ votes as just his own children would cause a massive swing in his favour.

I'm hoping for emergency legislation to ban crisp eating on trains personally

 

[chiefdave]

Wanted the Tories in third. Pretty underwhelming all told if that’s the result.

think the numbers will probably be more interesting to dig into than the seats in the coming days

some suggestion that the labour vote is pretty static and its just a case of people not turning out to vote for the Conservatives or switching to Reform

Such a massive swing makes that very dubious surely?

 

[chiefdave]

Labour could have put up some more inspiring people on BBC. So far it's been Mandleson and Streeting so far. People will be wondering if its too late to change their vote!

 

[ccfc1234]

The sooner we implement PR the better. regardless of what you think of the Green party or even reform it can't be right a party can get a huge amount of the vote share but a fraction of the seats. As the Green leader said during the campaign only Belarus in Europe dont have PR and like the UK use the archaic first past the post system.

Reform smashing it

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Will be interesting to see split/share of vote.

They are challenging very hard in Labour strongholds as well as Tory safe seats too. They could well be on the precipice of a major breakthrough in 2029 at the current rate.

Smashing the Tories

 

[David O'Day]

Leadsom has started the "we weren't conservative enough" argument already

crack on with making yourselves more unelectable

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Andrea Ledsom…people are saying ”we’re fed up of (Tories) trying to be more left wing than Labour”. Wtf?!?! Have I missed something?
