The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Kid_Eternity]

He really isn't. Reform are shapping the result on a national scale, Corbyn is pretty insignificant.

Yup. Like I said win or lose is a win when it comes to Corbyn.

The Tory bloke was head of the council here until the Tories spectacularly lost to the LibDems.

He helped to fuck up RBWM and leave them on the brink of bankruptcy.

So, so glad he's lost!View attachment 431994

Braverman still in. Ffs

Her speech is embarrassing. Trying to be funny. Christ.
Silence in the room.

 

[philosophical]

Gillis is a bastard.
Hope he is suffering a lot.

 

[Elpenor]

North Devon goes Lib Dem. Another Tory kicked out of Devon - I make that 3 so far - North Devon, Torbay and Newton Abbot

 

[JimW]

Greens gain Bristol Central

 

[JimW]

Oh, old news!

 

[two sheds]

The latter is deliberate strategy

"we're deliberately not going to get out people to vote"

 

[Idaho]

Greens win Bristol and the leader of the party gives speech, but the BBC show Braverman's speech.

Looks like the SNP could end-up with less than 10 seats now!

Was listening to a podcast episode from Clacton recently. Some Labour supporting long term Clacton residents were quite resentful of retirees from London who had moved there to get away from the multicultural city. Didn't see Clacton as being a particularly racist/anti-immigrant place until people started bringing their resentments from elsewhere. (Pinch of salt obviously, as just an interview with a couple of people)

Probably a discussion to carry on elsewhere some other time, but that's an interesting take and is potentially what sets off a downward spiral. Kids growing up in a place with no prospects and nothing to offer them, and all the while increasingly exposed to bigotry imported from elsewhere.

Suella Braverman is loving tonight's election result.

 

[Calamity1971]

Holden wins. Fuck this shit. 20 votes in it

 

[Yossarian]

Looks like the Isle of Wight is getting its first-ever Labour MP

 

[cupid_stunt]

Basildon held by Tories, by just 20 votes over Reform.

 

[MickiQ]

Holden has won Basildon by 20 votes

 

[JimW]

Holden holds, twenty votes

My one visit to Clapton doesn't reflect the faragist stereotype. Saying fuck Clapton seems a bit easy.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Holden wins narrowly, and not a single prick in the room can even manage a cheer. His own local party hate him.

 

[moochedit]

Zara sultana (labour - coventry south) more than double the vote of the next candidate (a tory) this time. She was only a few hundred ahead last time round.

postal votes

I demand a recount

What's the podcast? Sounds interesting.

Yup. Like I said win or lose is a win when it comes to Corbyn.

I intuit you support that vile cretin Starmer: a man not fit to breathe the same air as Corbyn. And Corbyn winning is a supreme rebuff to him and lick spittles like you. Good

Reform have won Skegvegas

 

[Elpenor]

Tunbridge Wells electorate is disgusted with the tories and have elected a Lib Dem

 

[JimW]

Tice in in Boston ETA oh was it Skeg?

 

[Calamity1971]

Tice gets Skegness. Shite hole
