    The new government really need to address some of Reform's ideas or they are just going to get stronger, and win seats from Labour in 4 or 5 year's time. Improving public services to cope with higher immigration would help. Getting immigration down, I don't know how best to tackle that.

    "Shy Tory syndrome" appearing in the North East results v exit polls.

    I wonder why they're shy about admitting their beliefs?

    I think it shows, well, to some on here, that 29% of Sunderland voters are racist. That can't sit well with them,....

    I think 'shy' translates as 'ashamed' ...

    ... this Government has been disgraceful and that can't be reasonably denied.

    If people are proud to be racist they should be happy to say so ...

    ... they don't.

    Bed time.

    If these Reform results continue overnight I may just stay in bed. Alternatively I might renew my Labour party membership, whilst holding my nose, just to work against them. Yuk.

    Sure, that's not in doubt, I just find the obsession with Ray Sissom a bit odd that's all, it has become more of an accusatory stick to beat people with rather than being viewed as a symptom of problems that politicians refuse to resolve.

    When the dust settles I think this election will carry a sub-verdict on Brexit.

    Farage has blamed the Tories for failing to get Brexit done which was the big issue last time ...

    ... people have voted Reform because they feel cheated.

    Brexit, in my opinion, was almost entirely based on the same xenophobia Farage has latched onto.
