The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[YouSir]

This is something that too many people don’t generally appreciate:

A paralysing fear of confronting capital is a bigger issue than a lack of resources. It's cowardice dressed as pragmatism from a party loaded with people who get paid the same either way.

"There were 521 rejections, 15 spunking cocks ... "

Reform in 3rd place, urgh

Will happen a lot in the SW I think

 

[Humberto]

Spunking Cock wins Chester Zoo.

Sorry, I'll behave.

Reform in 3rd place, urgh

Should think a fair few Greens went tactical

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

The air thick with glistening silken arcs, like fireworks reflecting off of glum clouds

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark, near the Tannhauser gate
All these things lost to time like Rishi Sunak in the rain.

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

I'm saving the balloons for ministers or high level vermin.

Just low hanging fruit so far.

Would have had balloons for Penfold but the little fucker got back in.

 

[moochedit]

Labour gain nuneaton

 

[Kid_Eternity]

It’s quite amusing seeing Brexit heavy seats ruin the Tories

Greens could get a second seat at Bristol.
Sounds like a very poor turnout. Also getting the impression that reform have taken some off the Tory vote and costs them seats ie Darlington.

The bonobo vote proved tumescent

 

[Calamity1971]

Basildon and billericay recount. Fuck off Richard Holden. Which by the way was my quiz team name in a heavily Tory Durham pub last week.

 

[Bingoman]

Only 20 votes in it at basildon and billericay apparently

 

[JimW]

Recount in Basildon and Biller- Rickaaaay!

 

[Humberto]

Too much spunking on the ballots?

Moggy could be one to go

And TBH I'll be checking out before all the big ones hit.

So I'll leave this here for everyone's use after I've gone to bed.

Jarvis holds, beating Reform.

 

[strung out]

Barnsley North Labour hold - that was one of the ones predicted to go to Reform in the exit poll, so I think we can safely say that Reform won't be winning 13 seats...

It'll be interesting to see if the % of electorate voting Labour is lower than in 2019.

I doubt that, but anything in the mid 30s shows there isn't much appetite for Labour and shows up starmer's line about getting the trust of the country as absolute bollocks.

Let’s hope so. They will probably decide a lot of seats but win very few

Kind of a 80s style SDP fascist variant

 

[YouSir]

Keep the shit Twitter bantz to yourself.

 

[tommers]

Is that lighting for La Reeve intentional?

Feels like I'm in "they live"

Important news. Professor Janina Ramirez has liked my election night drug intake.



Story of the night imo.

They've already won their victory I reckon, Tories will mimick them to get those voters back. Whether they take Farage in or not their future is decided.

 

[JimW]

Sky doing a piece saying similar just and also pointing out Tory vote done better than exit poll in the NE seats, though obviously bit different where they're the challenger.

Double espresso you're going to be up til at least 3.30 and gazing at the swingometer like it's the bestest sparkly thing you've ever seen

Seriously, what sort of bloody weirdo would set their alarm for 2am?
