    The real Midsomer Norton is a former coal mining town which hasn’t changed much since the pits shut down in the 60’s, except the cinema is now a Wetherspoons that opens at 8:30am. Not the most photogenic of places!

    I’m surprised at that statement. Maybe I’ve missed? I thought she was just getting too big & it was all about her rather her actual job? Definitely could be wrong tho as she annoyed me so much I’ve stopped watching.

    A refined system with exemptions not a one size fits all.
    Local authorities were prevented from reinvesting in new stock I thing there was a heavy lobby by the construction industry.

    Exit poll...

    410 - LAB
    131- CON
    61 - LD
    13 - REF
    10 - SNP
    4 - PD
    2 - GRN

    If accurate, Labour take office with 170-seat majority. Tories with their worst-ever GE result

    Holy ****ing ****.

    I feel slightly disappointment at a ****ing record, thats how outrageous this election has been!

    By the way that massive reward for Ed Davey, I am so chuffed. A win for positive politics, rather than the negative ****e we always have to deal with.

    Yeah, that's a smaller majority than I expected.

    I suspect the number of people who voted FOR the Lib Dems is dwarfed by the number of people who voted AGAINST the Conservatives.

    Survation in the gutter a bit, they said 99% chance Labour would beat 1997, they are 8 off in the exit poll.

    That said its well within the margin of error for them to still do it.

    Bit of self evaluation. Close with the top 2, but a bit all over the shop with the smaller parties.

    Under estimated the Lib Dems and Reform.

    Way overestimated the SNP.

    Wow, I hadn't realised this but 13 MPs for Reform would be more than the Lib Dems got in 2019.

    Will be interesting, but they will both agree on binning FPTP off though.

    If 13 MPs is close to accurate they must have.

    Just seen an estimate it would mean about 9.5% for the Lib Dems and 17% for Reform.

    Labour only 36%, Tories 26%. Very low percentages.
