The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Epona]

Trumped. I've been paceing myself ( unsuccessfully). The Magnum of Rioja remains under the stairs for the actual revolution.

I think the revolution might be the point where I actually want to be sober...

 

[Silas Loom]

Never did get to stay up...

Wyre Forest (Worcestershire), Tory holds the seat, majority cut from 20k to 800. Labour 2nd...

Absolutely fucking fuck.

Must be gutting after all that door-knocking. Commiserations.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Liam Fox, going, going, gone!

 

[Epona]

Why is Jeremy Vine being given airtime with the swingometer ffs?

 

[JimW]

Liam Fox gone!

 

[Silas Loom]

And I missed Michael Fabricant having the rug pulled from underneath him in Lichfield.

 

[JimW]

That'll be butchersapron's tactical vote swinging it

 

[JimW]

Held Yardley, they'll be made up.

 

[Elpenor]

Just two vermin MP in the SW so far though many seats still to declare as Lib Dem’s gain St Ives and Labour take N Somerset

 

[cupid_stunt]

Jess Phillips holds on with under 700, Indy (pro-Gaza) in second place!

It is - we weren't a target seat, we had pretty much no help from regional HQ. The fact that there were 5000 green and LD votes in the mix, both of whom talked loudly about tactical voting to get rid of the Tories, leaves something of a sour taste....

 

[xenon]

went to bed around one. after a few hours in the pub. Woke up at five. I feel like I should’ve just stayed up, I’ve missed all the fun.

Lib Dems gained Tiverton and Minehead which has been Tory forever I think.

 

[redsquirrel]

Douglas Ross lost to SNP

Ha Ha

 

[Elpenor]

Cameron’s old seat goes Lib Dem

 

[JimW]

Ha Ha

Their sole gain I think!

 

[Dogsauce]

Liam Fox gone!

Shit the bed. Thought they’d hold that. The SW is giving the Tories a kicking.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Boris Johnson's old seat (Henley) goes LD as well

 

[Calamity1971]

I'm hanging on for truss. By my fingernails! At this rate I'm going to see two swingometers.

 

[Dogsauce]

BBC being annoyingly slow at updating their map thing.

Waiting for Truss and Cleverly, though I’ll be getting up for work in about 30 mins anyway.

 

[baldrick]

Lib dems have won Honiton & Sidmouth

 

[SpookyFrank]

Just two vermin MP in the SW so far though many seats still to declare as Lib Dem’s gain St Ives and Labour take N Somerset

Tories likely to hold Exmouth, which has been tory for longer than anywhere else.

 

[JimW]

Blimey, Sky correspondent suggesting Sinn Fein results put pressure for a referendum on Irish unity. Can't see Starmer offering that.

 

[Elpenor]

Lib dems have won Honiton & Sidmouth

This was sort of already their seat after the by election

Let’s hope tories will lose Exmouth

 

[baldrick]

I did my bit there.

Lots of reform voters round here (I didn't vote for them!)

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Come on Maidenhead!

Hopefully not 2 Jeremy Vines though, 1 is more than required!
(Yes I do seriously dislike him)

 

[Calamity1971]

Prentiss out in Banbury

 

[JimW]

Prentis the Attorney general gone

 

[kabbes]

No Tories in Wales is sweet indeed

David Davies gone is a bit of a result too.
