The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[QueenOfGoths]

okay, maybe

I've said it now!

 

[Sasaferrato]

Your mate, John Swinney, is on Sky, not looking happy.

He rather looks as if someone has shoved a porcupine up his arse, and his misery is far from over. I've put a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I was half thinking of going to bed.

I'm not now.

 

[Elpenor]

Weston super mare gone Labour Karl Masks

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Cooper stays

 

[belboid]

i'd have expected it in about three hours time

 

[strung out]

Wes Streeting clings on by 500 votes to a pro-Gaza independent

 

[cupid_stunt]

That's hardly news.

 

[Calamity1971]

morning? Weirdo

Eh? Rude!

 

[Elpenor]

Yeah give him a chance to have a sandwich for breakfast first

 

[Chairman Meow]

An old friend from my London days is a massive Tory, and his son works for Penny Mourdant's team. Or I should say worked. I am very much looking forward to him posting a massive heartbroken rant on Facebook about it all.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Corbyn wins and it's not even close in the end.

 

[JimW]

Currently lowest share of vote for Tories since the party was founded

 

[moochedit]

Tories have won Leicester East from Labour.

Think there was an independent gaza candidate there which split the vote.

 

[Elpenor]

morning? Weirdo

It’s not morning if you haven’t gone to bed

 

[Fez909]

That's hardly news.

There were rumours of him staying on for 6 months to put a new leader in place, etc, so maybe slightly surprising?

I started but then thought that I've been waiting for this for a fuck of a long time

Oh bollocks, that would have been great

 

[Fez909]

It's really bright this late at night, eh?

 

[strung out]

Quite funny that all these pro-Gaza independents are beating Labour incumbents, or at least running them very close, whereas Galloway got trounced (by over 1,000 votes ) in Rochdale...

 

[JimW]

Finchley gone Labour

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Think there was an independent gaza candidate there which split the vote.

Keith Vaz and Claudia Webbe (both ex Labour), both standing as independents

 

[Cloo]

Set alarm for 4, woke up 3.45. Watching until 5ish then going back to bed, I think. We have gone Labour here, thankfully - I was a bit worried as I went to bed that Lib Dems might split anti Tory vote in Finchley enough to let them in. But they were way behind - so Tories still second but Sackman with a comfortable lead for Labour.

 

[MickiQ]

It's light here now

First flight to San Francisco departs at 1010 this morning

Speaking of which..Red Sky at night, Starmer's Delight?

Maybe not red...It's slightly pink over Leeds this morning.

 

[Sue]

Have you thought about going to bed, Kid_Eternity? If not, could you stop just posting random twitter shit? (I've just been catching up on this thread and it's really fucking tedious.)

 

[two sheds]

fucking hell the swingometer is no better despite the hi-tech graphics and twat presenter

 

[Calamity1971]

Bit pink here. My eyes mainly.

Here in Bristol, not only did the Greens win Central, they also finished second to Labour in every single other Bristol seat.
