    Wow 51%. If that is anything like the average it’s not ‘apathy’ but revolt against a broken system.

    That's not going to be the average, it's Sunderland and disillusioned Brexit supporters. The system has worked massively for the Tories in the past, but now it's killed them. **** them.

    Brilliant speech by the defeated Robert Buckland and excellent insights by John McDonnell regarding the potentially radical nature of Starmer's government.

    Labour landslide incoming, as was to be expected. Major upward swings everywhere so far for Reform and huge downward swings for the Tories. If Reform replace Farage and cut Ties with Robinson, and get someone at the helm who is more savvy and less radically extreme , then they would be a serious force in years to come. I can't see the Tories recovering from this for decades, the next 20 years will be a battle between Labour and Reform !

    Around a 60% turnout it seems.

    Reform coming second in many seats

    Greens to take Bristol Central, Galloway to lose - interesting (possible) stuff.

    Wes Streeting will be a brilliant Health Secretary and may well be a future PM.

    Exit poll had Labour losing a Barnsley seat they’ve just won by a mile.

    The exit poll could wind up being significantly wrong because it couldn't properly factor the Farage UK Ltd vote or the tactical vote effect.

    Some wild swings. 24% in Telford. Looks like I’m staying up. Meant to be in the gym at 9. Oh well.

    You’re welcome to talk bollocks about any election across the world. Especially at 2am when it’s usually just you.

    That was because the Reform candidate made those racist statements though wasn't it ? Reform wre tipped to win there before that, so obviously all those that were gonna vote fir him switched to Labour !
