What’s the current seat predictions?
I absolutely believe that Labour *will* work their socks off. There’s a good team there.
And, if you consider where Labour were just 4 years ago, it’s pretty amazing.
Sadiq Khan is impressive.
The Tory campaign to suppress the vote seems to have been surprisingly effective.

Over the last 14 years therre have been some honest and dignified Tory MPs
....maybe not dignified
Carol Voderman is on C4 if you want more impressive!
Sir Robert Buckland fed up with 'performance art politics and saying things that are untrue'. His party.
Devastating.

Lots on Twitter about Jeremy Hunt looking likely to lose his seat to the Lib Dems in Godalming, Surrey. For those who don’t know, Godalming is a very affluent parish town near Guildford and a Tory safe seat.
This looks like THE Portillo moment and Hunt would become the first ever current Chancellor of the Exchequer to lose his seat.

B-right-on
Living the dream
Shoreham has been Conservative continuously since 1974 when it became a seat and then mixed in the 90s with East Worthing. This is massive.
I absolutely love that woman.

Jeez labour smash Newcastle central
I'm not arguing that changing the system wouldn't help Farage, in the short term, anyway. My fears for the future notwithstanding.
I don't think anybody senior in Reform really wants to change the system anyway. They might moan about it now because in the short term they'd get more seats and it'd be weird if they didn't. But the likes of Farage want to lever themselves into power and influence and money. Probably by putting pressure on the Conservatives or directly taking them over. Making the system more representative and making it harder for a single party to have real power doesn't help him do that.
That's not an argument in favour or against of any system, it's a comment on how slimy Farage is.

Another 2nd for reform
More Sir Robert Buckland: The Tories are like 'bald men arguing over a comb'. If the loonies take hold of the party 'that would be disastrous and they would end in the abyss'.
