Greens win Bristol! Another shadow cabinet member gone.
Braveman held on, so between here and Badenoch.... Tories will continue to the right/merge (be taken over by) reform.
Next Tory leader then.
Not if they have any sense.
Are the Tories losing more seats to Reform UK or the LibDems?
Reform upto 4 now with Tice. Wonder if his finances are all in order. ?
I thinK farage's might be the only seat I've seen where the rightwing party total is up.
Starmer's weak performance isn't just about Feinstein, in fact it's not even mostly about that. He's lost about 17000 votes with only 7300 to Feinstein. It looks like the same thing as all those rightwingers I mentioned earlier where rather than going tory to reform they've just gone tory to not voting, the turnout in the seat has abslutely plummeted. Unless there was a boundary change or something? Or a blizzard?
Lice has won... What's wrong with the East?
Tice ffs
Tice in Boston. He’s going to viewed with suspicion unless he can grow another couple of fingers
Ooh, my constituency (High Peak) which flipped to Tory last time with a tiny majority has now swung right back to Labour with an 8000 vote majority. Haha!
Holden has scraped in in Basildon
A 20 vote majority
I'll hold out for Mogg then I'm off to bed. Cant key my eyes open.
Didn't see Gullis lose, did he flounce??
What a night/day!
I think people have a tendency to romanticise the '97 Labour victory as if it was nothing but a victory for the positivism attached to Blair's leadership, but i remember it as being exactly the same fag end of 13 years of even worse Toryism that motivated exactly the same feeling of 'anyone but' we have today.
That appears to be delivering a similarly sized Majority.
Blair sullied his own reputation, sure, but it was literally the last time we had a government that you believed wasn't actively working against the Country's, and by extension your, actual interests.
Braverman & Badenoch sounds like an Undertakers
Dreadful news, especially for the Tory party
I have never been to Clacton to and I’m not feeling the urge.
Its not dissimilar to most Victorian seaside resorts in the UK at a high level.
However since it was mostly shortish trips from London it really suffered since it sat between larger resorts which retained more of the custom.
It benefited post war as a fairly quick train ride from London. However thats turned into a bit of Achilles heal since some of the cheap weekend housing for the Londoners turned into permanent homes aka Jaywick. I had an auntie who was one of those Londoners (well Irish via London) who had a home there for several years. I vaguely remember it being crap as a very young kid and passing through in my teens it was...interesting. A random visit in my twenties and it was even worse.
Fun fact: the oldest spear in the UK was found there. I will leave it to the observer to decide whether that suggests visiting armed is a good idea or not.
Penny Mordaunt gone!
Mourdant gone!
Lice has won… What’s wrong with the East?
labour gained Grimsby & Cleethorpes 😕 you'd think going by Yarmouth, clacton and skeggy classic reform !
Bye bye sword-carrier. The party really is in the hands of the headbangers now
Mercer gone too. Excellent.
Mordaunt gone. That’s the tories going full nutter. She was the only even remotely moderate one left.
Labour gains Suffolk Coastal
****ing 'ell

Coffey CANNED!
Great stuff!
Corbyn on CH4 on the rise of the far right. Absolutely bang on. This country really missed an opportunity to have a PM who actually understands what’s going on. F***ing tragic.
Coffey in the HoL is a motherflipping outrage
My prediction for Scotland a month ago looking not bad.
"Predictions for Scottish seats in the election.
Labour 38
SNP 8
Tories 6
LibDems 5"

Come on, I want to hear about Moggy so I can go to bed, I suspect he's held on, anyone know anything?
Cooper has held on. Phew.
Its not dissimilar to most Victorian seaside resorts in the UK at a high level.
Pretty sure it's the only place i've ever seen teaspoons chained to the table of cafes.

I think they are now going to become a a byword for racism and bigotry - maybe that will result in more tourists?
another revision on the predictor
LAB 410

REF 4
OTH 26
Is there anyone who’s sat round the cabinet table, no matter how briefly and uselessly, over the last 14 years who hasn’t been given a seat in the House of Lords?
Very pleased to see Reform projection going down.
Streeting won by 528! Blimey. Tbf if think he's an appalling politician. I prefer a significant amount of Tories
LAB another 45 seats for a majority
I note thé news is very quiet on Sunak. Surely not?!
Hunt hangs on. Another leadership tilt coming up, or has he had enough?
Surely not?!
Not.
Rishi comfortably holds. Working remotely from California?

Some suggestions that truss is out – no declaration yet.At a local level – jenrick re-elected in my constituency with massively reduced majority; was 21,000+, now 3,500; hugely disappointing. More later.
Damn.
And sunak concedes!
The person that I wanted to win a seat this election more than anyone else was Leanne Mohamad.
I didn't really think she stood any chance against Wes Streeting but she actually got within 500 votes of defeating him.
I am truly staggered and I can't quite believe how Londoners have voted in this election. Makes me truly proud, especially when considering how Reform UK are doing in the Red Wall seats.
The great thing about Leanne Mohamed is that she is still very young and talented. She will learn a lot from this election and I have no doubt that she will defeat Wes Streeting in 2029.
sunak wins.
The haunted pencil is gone!
Did CH4 just say they heard mogg might have lost?

Holy cow! That's the scalp. Right there.
Christ Harriet Harman is a literal personality vacuum
Annoyed that Jeremy *unt hasn’t gone.
well the tory stronghold in devizes is no more (lib dems have won it with 39.1% share 😀
****in a man woohoo (if you can guess i voted lib dems).
the tories have held devizes for as long as i can remember and i'm 49 now but not any more lol.
*well i am still 49 but you know what i mean ha.
Waiting for my constituency to be called, lib Dems have done very well elsewhere...
The Victorian pencil is gone!!!!!
Is that official? Think he's the one I hated most, on a purely personal basis.
Wes Streeting's share of the vote dropped by 21% compared to 2019. And I thought that 2019 was a really bad election for Labour?
That's terrible to happen to one of Labour's biggest guns. He must have the smallest majority so far this evening. Another embarrassment for Starmer.
@colournoise @poopscoop - secondary school with a VI Form in the north east.
it's ****ing carnage !
Streeting is so obviously going to be the first Cabinet casualty in the new government.
Streeting, jess Phillips. What?
Sky news pretending they’re in America by ‘calling’ the election. No shit Sherlock! ?
majority of 1
