The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[petee]

Time difference was ideal here, up at six to get breakfast on, wake kids and pack off to school then settle down to massacre of the Tories.

the results are coming on now, just as the fireworks get going (some a little too close, tbf). nice timing!

Why Reform, the RN, AfD, etc are winning votes

Its due to poverty, vulnerability in a fast changing world and under education.

I said accept reality and work with it to win power.

But only two parties can win power under FPTP and they're both serving the same interests. So all you're really saying is you can either be inside or outside of the status quo. And as most of us aren't rich or politicians we're outside of it either way.

Jo Platt saying "this is a vote for a Labour Party...." when her vote is down five percent and clearly it was Reform taking Tory votes got her in.

I've got ITV on the telly and the Beeb on my tablet (and Urban as well of course) BBC1 is sluggish and C4 comes across as slightly demented.
Mrs Q to my surprise stuck it out to 1am

 

[hash tag]

Although if someone could send me some STAY AWAKE drugs I'll go all the way through.

Just putting it out there...

Welcome to my world of nights.
Labour retain my seat of Battersea. No surprise

 

[YouSir]

You have more power than you think.

Patronising me with vague nonsense is not a path that'll garner a good reaction.

I’m not, people are more powerful than the systems they exist in. Everything can be changed; power is organised people and/ or organised money.

You are powerful.

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

Yeah, obviously don't add tories and reform together to give u a picture of maybe 5 years time after your boy does nothing except deliver quasi fascism for us.
