The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Elpenor]

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

Sunderland and Newcastle take the civic pride where they can get it I guess

 

[belboid]

Grant Shapps!

Drink!!!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Could Yvette Cooper really lose?

Aren't they the ones who compete every time?

They have a huge amount of room and a huge amount of counters, and have honed their methods.

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

Thing of the past

Was that Kinnock on Radio 4, talking about how Starmer is "a gutsy radical", because "he's not afraid to be pragmatic. It's only shallow thinkers who are afraid of pragmatism"?

 

[YouSir]

Turnout down to the mid 50s by BBC projection. Thriving democracy in action.

 

[The39thStep]

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

 

[Wilf]

Yes. I think Basildon used to be in the race in previous elections

 

[imposs1904]

I wonder what odds you can get for Labour losing the next election?

 

[JimW]

The Tories have done more than Keir Starmer to make Labour a viable political force again.

You may need a hearing test Dave, think he actually sent “gutless wanker”

That's the dialectic for you, bud.

Must have splashed some wet sand in my ear

Kinnock the bloke who lost two general elections to the Tories ?

It wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Hotel Chocolate]

It seems like whatever the most right-wing party is in a particular country is they are getting around 28%: SVP in Switzerland, FPO in Austria, RN in France, PVV in the Netherlands, and so forth?

 

[JimW]

Andrea Leadsom making a bold commitment to democracy that actual makes it sound like she regrets the people get a vote.

 

[belboid]

Apparently Sky have Hallam going LibDem, but reports on the ground say that thats bollocks. Bloody hope so.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Kinnock the bloke who lost two general elections to the Tories ?

The man who twice bravely stole defeat from the perfidious Tories, I believe you meant

 

[two sheds]

All this discussion in the main office I want to see tories losing

 

[Calamity1971]

Grant Shapps!

Drink!!!

Has he lost his seat?
Took a break

If the auto-neckshotting in her party continues at the pace it's going, before night's-end her chyron will be upgraded to GRANDEE

 

[Wilf]

So, Starmer to get exactly the average of Corbyn's 2 results, by share of the vote.

 

[Humberto]

A good result if so. Absolute shark.

You should be blowing up balloons, not eating fucking popcorn. Minister for balloons,tsk.

With Corbyn's consistent monstering by the right wing press (and 'left wing' press too) at the time.

Wasn’t right wing enough
