Massive Labour landslide according to the exit poll. Labour : 410 Conservatives : 131 Lib Dem : 61 Reform : 13 SNP : 10 Green : 2 PC : 4 Others :19
You're obsessed with Farage. How about being positive about Labour's majority, or has Reform's predicted gains ruined your night?
Farage is a poisonous snake. The right wing media, which includes the BBC, will make him the story of the night, though.
More than I watch RTE...... I thought most of the news on both TV and Radio was of a left wing persuasion.....
Farage, if he wins Clacton, will provide more of an opposition to the Labour government than anything the Tories or Libs can. He'll be a thorn in their side, and,yes, he'll get plenty of publicity, because he's interesting and controversial, whereas Starmer is an accountancy level of dull.
John Curtice: “Much of the damage to the Conservatives isn’t being done by Labour, it’s being done by Reform… …even though Labour are looking to be winning a landslide in terms of seats, we’re not seeing a landslide in terms of votes”.
Farcical electoral system. Any info on the turnout yet? And does ‘others’ include that ****er Galloway?
Sunderland just declared. 51% turnout. Obviously Labour hold, but 3.4% swing from Labour to Reform. Conservatives third.
