[Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

[Farehamseagull]

FUCKS SAKE! I hate Fareham!

Stupid tossers.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Bravermann …. You horrible, vile piece of work

 

[Machiavelli]

Farage is going to “bring tourism to Clacton”.

MAGA goons from Mississippi and West Virginia milling around in the amusement arcades?

Yes, that stood out for me too. Let's see how effective he proves in boosting tourism.

BREAKING NEWS: Greens take Bristol Central.

 

[Pevenseagull]

f***ing hell Clacton

I went to Clacton for a day out in the early 90s

a resting London prostitute claimed that she could make a dead man cum.


Strangely erotic


Lovely town.

Greens win Bristol Central

 

[Eeyore]

Reform win Yarmouth

So not surprised. I've only been there once in my life. It's like something out of the 1970s. I went their for a cricket tour in 2021 (you'd have liked that). We sat in a bar by the pier. Jim Davison being advertised as it's top bill coming up. It's Clacton with a few more bells on.

BBC saying now what I've been trying to express. Labour have not won this election. The Tories were despised and folk went to Labour because they were tired of them and thought Labour would be no worse. Reform helped them on their way.

Good to see Michael Fabricant sailing off into the sunset and hopefully Philip Davies can join him.

 

[nwgull]

Fabricant gone superb!!!

I thought he’d stood down?

 

[kevo]

Fareham and Waterlooville. What are you on?

 

[Gabbiano]

Braverman and Badenoch hold on. That'll be a battle for the leadership of the carcass of the Tories.

 

[Scappa]

Greens win Bristol

 

[Ethelwulf]

Keegan out in Chichester m, wow

Not just out lost by thousands

 

[Pevenseagull]

Jonathan Ashworth gone.


?


I quite like him

 

[Eeyore]

Cruella Braverman begins her leadership campaign offering turkish delight from her Narnian sleigh.....

In the circumstances, I think it's a poor result for Labour. Tories and Reform together now match Labour for vote share. No-one is inspired by Starmer and the bland politics of the current version of the Labour Party.

Lib Dems win Tunbridge Wells

 

[Weststander]

Weird how he was hugely popular in 2017 - and achieved a higher share of the vote than Starmer will, despite the last seven years of Tory misrule. Yet he lost badly in 2019. Many reasons, but the way he was demonised was shocking.

2017 was a feel good thing, the Ohhhhhh Jeremy Corbyn honeymoon. And Teresa May didn’t the right note.
2019 was the meat on the bone Manifesto, a shopping list of things most people say are good, but respected economists said it was not credible. Moreover, he was duplicitous over Brexit, trying and failing to pretend to both camps that he was on their side.

 

[Machiavelli]

Still coming round on the coffee

Bad-Enoch hangs on

Bad-Enoch and Sh!tler to duke it out for leadership. The 'acceptance' speech from Sh!tler was terrifying. Zero self-awareness, and you have to feel for the Tory Party. Shapps has been an amazing communicator for the Tories and his concession speech was very well conceived.

 

[Scappa]

Tice wins Boston & Skeggy

 

[The Fits]

Well done Bristol. Some sanity on a crazy night.

 

[kevo]

BBC forecast 154 Tory seats, Reform 4, SNP now 6.

So the 13 for Reform predicted in the exit poll way out.
