The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Elpenor]

Wasn’t she a bit less shit than most of them on Gaza too? Will be a few worried elsewhere I guess.

Found her conscience a bit too late I think

 

[A380]

Coming up to two thirds declared and Tories below 66, sub-100 still on.

But more rural seats to declare because it the longer to physically get the votes in.

 

[Elpenor]

Yes, but hoping they'll also see big Reform bites splitting their vote.

I think this explains Devon Tory losses

 

[Dogsauce]

A friend of mine was saying that structurally, Reform aren't actually a party, they're a business.

Once they have MPs in parliament, their finances will have to be scrutinised.

Should be, er, interesting.

Yeah, but they’ll be alright on spending limits because the Ruble has fallen in value so much.

Worthing West gain for Labour cupid_stunt

Worthing West declared for Labour, is that you cupid_stunt?

Yes, thank fuck, otherwise my piss taking of the Tory teller would have fallen flat!

 

[JimW]

But more rural seats to declare because it the longer to physically get the votes in.

I said this in my initial post! See my answer to the honourable gentleman above.

 

[MickiQ]

Not quite

They have according to ITV now on 333

From the Pick your Portillo 2024 thread...



Turned out nice again!

Is it definately definate?

Always say this but less traffic too. Is there a constituency in the UK that can't be driven across in half an hour (excepting Scottish island constituencies obvs)

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Labour gain Earley and Woodley by under 1000 seats

 

[cupid_stunt]

Labour hits a majority, Tories still on 70.

 

[oryx]

Need to see Rees-Mogg's Portillo moment ASAP as I'm flagging but fuck it, I have waited years for this moment and I will not let tiredness defeat me!

 

[Voley]

Can someone confirm Rees Mogg has lost for me please?

 

[maomao]

Time to get ready for work. Will be yawning all day now.

 

[Cloo]

BBC not saying anything about JRM. Damn, I'm going to have to stay up until I see this confirmed....

 

[PursuedByBears]

Cat Smith takes the new seat of Lancaster & Wyre for Labour! 45% vote share.

 

[JimW]

Hail our glorious leader, now on to Buckingham Palace to turf out the royals and declare the republic.

 

[two sheds]

Can someone confirm Rees Mogg has lost for me please?

... came the plaintive cry

 

[cupid_stunt]

I am sooooooooooooooo fucking enjoying this!

 

[Cerv]

Sir Graham Brady gone!

gone straight into the house of lords

Theresa May and 'bionic' MP Craig Mackinley awarded peerages

New honours and peerages are announced just minutes before polls closed in the general election.

Labour gain Earley and Woolley (bits of Reading) which I think also includes Whitley

Probably a place like Bracknell and Aldershot, people are generally affluent and more or less full employment but main wealth is with older generations from having bought a house in 80s or 90s so Truss economic shocks will have really cut through. Also a fair bit of demographic change I think chilango ?

 

[strung out]

Hail our glorious leader, now on to Buckingham Palace to turf out the royals and declare the republic.

If our last anti-monarchy PM (Liz Truss) couldn't get rid of them, how much chance do you give Starmer?

 

[Epona]

Anyone know what happened with Truss and JRM?
Still have some blank spots on my bingo card

 

[Calamity1971]

Mogg now

 

[A380]

Sasaferrato will be happy with the Scotland result

 

[petee]

per bloomberg, labor have an absolute majority.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Can someone confirm Rees Mogg has lost for me please?

Yes, just been on Sky.

 

[Cloo]

Waiting for Labour to hit 326, then going to bed!

 

[Calamity1971]

Mogg out

 

[Dogsauce]

Labour seem to be doing better than expected in rural seats and down here in the south-west, perhaps their national vote share held back by losing support over their Gaza cowardice in cities, but effectively higher elsewhere. Is that a bad take from a quick 15-min scan of headlines?
