She really went for it!

Quite emotional at the end regarding the whole covid thing and fair play to her.

I know nothing but doesn't strike me as being a big surge in racists so much as the same racists we had before switching to the party which says the quiet bits out loud.

Yes, I alluded to this in an earlier post.

Newcastle Central, Labour vote falling again. The muslim vote clearly deserting the party.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I wonder whether Labour politicos will admit that their share of the votes, as opposed to seats, is nothing to crow about. And that the Greens have picked up votes from them. I wonder.

 

[strung out]

Labour currently six for six. If the rest of the results tonight follow the same trend, then Labour are on course to win all 650 seats.

Time to open my second bottle of champagne

Would like to see some more seats declare outside the NE

Ugh, the detestable Jeremy Vine is in charge of the BBC Swingometer - is the coverage any less odious on one of the other channels?

Votes dont matter. They are irrelevant.

Yeah agreed, and glad someone is still giving voice to that. I’ve friends who lost parents and couldn’t be there during that period and it doesn’t get mentioned enough…

I wonder how many deluded fucks will still be talking about being able to push Labour towards PR.

Apparently both Nadine Kwasi were booked till 3am on ch4 but both have just got up and left…

Rachel Reeves has just turned up in pretty much a jacket and nothing else!

Jagger?
Fleetwood?
Foley?

 

[planetgeli]

Jagger?
Fleetwood?
Foley?

M ick Lynch. RMT. More than holding his own. Trying to tell it as it is. Keeps mentioning the 'working class'. Shocking.

 

[YouSir]

Jagger?
Fleetwood?
Foley?

Foley, he's going to batter a Tory MP with a chair.

How were those two able to get to their result so much faster than anyone else, and why are everyone else taking so long?

Cocaine.

 

[Bingoman]

Could Yvette Cooper really lose?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

did they really just say it looks like the tories are going to lose tunbridge wells?

Everyone else takes longer because they're busy rubbing out all the Reform votes.

They ran a very efficient campaign because ultimately vote share matters less under this electoral system. You win power by having the most seats.

Which is exactly why this blasted system needs change. Votes should matter.

 

[Wilf]

I'm catching up, have we had projected national vote shares?

They don't and nothing will change.

Yes am impressed with him from the strikes. Sound politics, strong debater and doesn’t let the establishment talk him down. I’d be proud to be a member of his union

I'm disgusted

Just had a look at the BBC website and it's saying:

Even with the Labour vote potentially split right down the middle, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that I do not think there's a 33% chance of a Conservative gain in Islington North.

Oh? Jeremy Corbyn?
