Off Topic Politics Thread

Yes, the exit poll may have captured the share of the vote across the board, but not the individual seat variation on which everything depends. Reform could come second in 80% of the seats in England but actually only win a couple of seats.

 

I have work at 8.30 but can't take my eyes off of this.

It is shaping up to be an absolute massacre beyond what the exit poll predicted.

 

Shapps gone

 

Farage wins in Clacton

 

Corbyn wins as an Independent

 

Mordaunt gone?

 

Ok scratch what I said earlier, lab slight drop, con slight increase on BBC forecast.

Results to come must be favorable to the Tories.

Still a big night though.

 

Rupert Lowe is an MP

 

Farage, Anderson and Lowe the Reform MPs. What a trio

 

BBC and ITV now reforceasting. BBC pushing Labour majority down, while ITV has it increasing to 178 with 414 total MPs

BBC has Reform getting 4, ITV has Reform getting 10

 

The mock country gentlemen and lurch.

 

Tice makes it four

 

I'm sure I recognise that name.......

 

Mordaunt gone

 

Can't imagine the D Day ****show helped her in Pompey

 

Therese Coffey gone now too

 

Jeremy Hunt holds on in Godalming and Rishi Sunak wins in Richmond & Northallerton with a 12k majority

 

Rishi Sunak concedes (well, yeah) and says he has already phoned Keir Starmer to congratulate him and wish him well

 

I have to say, Jeremy Hunt’s speech was both humble and moving. Fair play to him.
