Yeah, this. If they even get more than 10 it’s a big result for them and will give them plenty of momentum with Farage regularly speaking in the commons.
I love the way that Blyth and Sunderland race to be the first to declare, with volunteers running around with ballot boxes Adds a ‘it’s a knockout’ kinda feel to it all
Ah yeh fair point. Sinn Fein and DUP. Plaid I think was predicted a very small number due to boundary changes.
I was sat here thinking 3 would be a fantastic result. New party, already more seats than the Greens. We are now sat here talking about 10.
I thought they’d pick up a lot of votes from disgruntled Tory voters. But 13 seats would be a scalp for them.
Can't remember what I predicted now, I think it was 4...13 seats is just whoooa. I think the banging on about the 212 majority by SKY last night has not helped this. But even so, all good for Labour and Starmer as we expected.
I've suddenly found John Redwood on my screen. Probably the most unexpected event of the night so far.
Rees-Mogg has a predicted 47% chance of holding his seat. That’s a surprise. He was supposed to be a goner. Jeremy hunt 19% chance of winning his seat. Penny Mordaunt 25% chance.
They'll have picked up quite a few ex Labour voters too. There's a lot of angry old bigots out there on all sides.
Loved the part where she pointed out that Steve Baker has less than a 1% chance of retaining his seat, whilst Steve baker was sitting 5 yards away on the studio panel
Respect to that Tory sitting there admitting they've lost and he's lost his own seat. No bullshitting. Yeah, Baker that's his name
