The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Epona]

Watching the BBC coverage with Jacob Rees-Mogg's live interview from his house right now, is that his wank room? Photo of Churchill and possibly Thatcher too in the background.

Having a specific wank room must be how the other half live

I quite often stay up till midnight, or even later. Tonight I'm much more tired than usual. Is it because it's actually quite boring?

Not if you follow Kid_Eternity

They took the Tory vote by numbers almost exactly

Yes, objectively it’s dull as fuck.

 

[planetgeli]

53%, 51% turnout.

Enthusiastic.

 

[WouldBe]

Yeah but still.

 

[Elpenor]

Results so far seem that a rump of Tory vote has shifted to Reform. I think that may be mirrored in the SW too

These are safe Labour seats, but I would think the 2019 Tory vote was boosted by switchers from Labour. And that’s now gone to reform and not gone back to Labour

And a nice dark purple outfit to contrast with the yellow background. But the ruff and feather? Chef’s kiss.

 

[Elpenor]

53%, 51% turnout.

Enthusiastic.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

 

[Bingoman]

The BBC have just said that the Tories are conceding defeat in Swindon south

 

[WouldBe]

"Reform are up a lot". Not sure you need to be a professor of politics to work that out.

 

[pbsmooth]

Oh god I’ve only just realised Widdicombe is Reform and banging on about being the “anti-woke” party

 

[Kid_Eternity]

It’s a leave voting area, the idea Labour could win there massively is interesting but let’s be honest the Tories and Reform should have done much better

Was busy on twitter crying about Reform vote share but she has a fantastic hat, very impressive.

 

[steeplejack]

I mean this exit poll map for Scotland is ludicrous.

Oh god I’ve only just realised Widdicombe is Reform and banging on about being the “anti-woke” party

oh Anne can fuck of hugging you own children is to woke for that creature

 

[strung out]

Curtice saying that the Reform votes in the two seats declared so far are actually slightly lower than projected in the exit poll.

 

[The39thStep]

Wasn't forcast in any of the pre elections polls however Reform could well be taking some Labour seats.
