[belboid]

There’s a lot of talk about the impact of Reform on the Tories, but much less about the high quantity of seats in the South of England that they lost to the LibDems. Places they’ve held for over 100 years. The Tories have lost Toryshire, and it’s pretty much for the opposite reason than the dominant narrative about why they’ve lost in other areas.

From a few results I’ve seen down here in the SW the reform vote hasn’t been that high (e.g. 10% in N Somerset), think they do better in red wall and south east areas, traditionally more reactionary

Hunt turned up at Number 11 to starting packing the tea chests

Should have had them all packed already, just needs to load them into the removal van now

 

[Calamity1971]

Just heard Andrea Jenkins has been binned, which is nice.

North Herefordshire.

Same number of seats as Reform. Wonder if they’ll get the same amount of media attention for it?

Hasn't declared yet according to BBC.

A silver lining when most of the worst Tories seem to have held on. Her, Philip Davies, Fabricant are some consolation I guess.

 

[baldrick]

Come on Exmouth!!! I've got to get ready for work soon

I'm wondering if it's particularly close & there's recounts happening

The site that tells you when seats usually declare suggested 5am

It's a new constituency but still...

 

[Monte]

Hasn't declared yet according to BBC.

Ah, Ch4 have given it.

 

[kabbes]

Banal ways that meaning and thus reality is created through the way that stories are told #7544: all channels are using a graphic showing the seats of LAB/CON/LD/REF/SNP/OTH. So Reform are being normalised as the fourth force in politics, despite it looking like they’ll end up with the same number of MPs as the Greens. The way the story is told reflects reality but also creates reality.

Hasn't declared yet according to BBC.

They are hopeless.

THE winner of the general election in north Herefordshire has been announced.

Dr Ellie Chowns of the Green Party has taken a majority and won the seat from Sir Bill Wiggin.
The Green Party had chosen north Herefordshire as one of its four priority seats to win, with Dr Chowns.
Sir Bill Wiggin has lost out on holding the seat which he has occupied since 2010, and before that as the Leominster MP since 1997.
Dr Chowns received 21,736 votes, with Sir Bill Wiggin just behind on 15,842 votes.

BBC website is well behind on some seats: BREAKING: North Herefordshire election result revealed

Hasn't declared yet according to BBC.

Reported as a win elsewhere for a while. Guess not formally announced yet? BBC seems a bit slow on some results.

 

[andysays]

Just checked the full result for my constituency of Tottenham

Lammy has won for Labour, which is no surprise, but his share of the vote has dropped 20% points.

Greens are up nearly 15% to 19% and the pro-Gaza independent is in 3rd place with 5.8%

 

[Epona]

Ah bollocks Priti Patel won

 

[redsquirrel]

Godalming and Ash

31403 voted not tory
23293 voted tory

Tory win

But that is true of the overwhelming majority of seats in the country, there are very few seats where anyone got over 50% (Corbyn coming close to being an exception to even running against Labour)

 

[quimcunx]

Patel stays.

 

[Silas Loom]

Yay, Labour win Aylesbury.

Not on the Sky ticker at least; that's Lab-Tory-Libs-SNP-Other in a lump

 

[kenny g]

Priti Patel holds seat. Another right wing tory retains. I know constituency well and impressed she retained.

Analysis confirming that the Tories have lost rather than Labour winning

Sir John Curtice: The dramatic Tory decline behind Labour's landslide​

Isn't that almost always the case?

 

[andysays]

Isn't that almost always the case?

Not sure what you mean, but if you think back to 1997, there was much more a sense that Labour had won, alongside the Tories being finished after 14 years.

 

[andysays]

BBC finally confirming North Herefordshire

 

[Silas Loom]

I don’t know why I am fucking up my body clock just to see Reform beat Truss in the flatlands.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

LibDems have taken Maidenhead!!

 

[Funky_monks]

They are hopeless.

Wow! I voted for someone who actually won for once, probably for the first time in my history of voting "not Tory".

 

[Calamity1971]

Truss coming up!

 

[kenny g]

Labour have won under current system but they have not gained legitimacy. I think of macrons party in france a few years back.

 

[ruffneck23]

The Tories had held Dorking since 1885. No longer.

My tactical vote seems to have paid off.
