The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[MickiQ]

Starmer has won, vote is down a lot from 2019 but he has won by a still large margin. I got that prediction wrong, I never doubted he would win but I thought his vote would go up on account of him being Glorious Leader.

People laughing at starmer.

 

[tommers]

God I just realised I stopped paying attention halfway through his speech

 

[two sheds]

Starmer still banging on then

 

[scifisam]

I went to bed and woke up to see that Labour had gained Thurrock. My old racist fucking town that did hold out with a Labour MP duriing the Thatcher years and then went back. I really hope it's true and I didn't dream it because it makes me so happy.

God I just realised I stopped paying attention halfway through his speech

I did till I heard the laughter.

Don't forget Elpenor, your contribution earlier was that Farage was just a 'bloody bloke who goes for a pint,' trying to be hilarious.

I helped you out. So fuck off.

No that was a serious point explaining how folk who don’t post on internet politics boards who take perhaps a 10 second view of the news perceive Farage

Your pissed up posting is a near nightly occurrence and I’m glad you’ve not reached for the homophobic insults so far. I won’t be reading any more of your posts tonight so let’s leave it there and focus on the tories losing heavily

 

[tommers]

Given their strategy pretty on the money.

What do you mean?

I'll focus on you attacking me, insulting me, calling me homophobic for now.

Starmer saying he'll "speak out" for various approved constituencies; should think they'll expect better than that if you're running the country, you plum.

 

[tommers]

Shapps, Shapps, Shapps, shapps

 

[YouSir]

Woman on Sky saying Starmer's margin is down because they're not trying to stack votes in safe seats. They ploughed a huge amount of money and time into his seat, think it was their biggest online spend at one point.

Please leave it there, and don't trash the thread.

WTF are some of these returning officers wearing. Looking at Welwyn Hatfield. Is this usual?

 

[bluescreen]

Oh god, these high sheriffs and their ostrich feather hats!

 

[emanymton]

Another hat

 

[elbows]

17% drop for Starmer. Quite funny.

I like to look at the raw numbers too. Assuming wikipedia is accurate and my brain hasnt malfuctioned:

36,641 in 2019 and 18,884 this time. And in 2017 he got 41,343.

 

[Elpenor]

Torbay gone Lib Dem

 

[YouSir]

Shapps, Shapps, Shapps, shapps

Reform deserve to lose for that daft hat if nothing else.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Ahem, spitfire - Justice Secretary Alex Chalk is now unemployed.

 

[JimW]

Great, big hat to watch Micheal Green go

 

[tommers]

Ooohhhh

 

[Humberto]

Please leave it there, and don't trash the thread.

I will.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Shapps is going, going, gone.

 

[two sheds]

"his majority eaten into by a conflict many miles away pushing the cause of Gaza"

 

[Voley]

Grant Shapps gone!

 

[Smangus]

Fuck you Shapps

 

[skyscraper101]

HA. Shapps. In your face!!! GONE

 

[Calamity1971]

Labour have kicked shapps out.

 

[tommers]

Hahaha ah prick.
