Horsham going LD has made me quite emotional. I cast my first ever vote there when Major got stuffed in 1997, and even in that election it was an easy Tory win and just felt like a futile exercise.
I’ve also won a few quid!!

Jim Duggan has been running as The Peace Party since 1992. He’s quite a character in the town.
All goes to proves the horseshoe theory .. vile individuals at both political extremes, they’re so close to each other but they’d hate to think so.

This outweighs Rees-Mogg and even Truss, if she loses, for me!

We do have to be cautious of one party holding so much power, as long as it in the right hands.
Labour will not need any help from other parties and even only need about half their own MPs to get bills through, which is not very democratic. Beware

Yes! So happy that Sian Berry won Pavilion. To answer @Weststander 's question, I wasn't confident. I'm genuinely stunned by the margin though. Up until I left , the local (Hollingdean and 5ways) activists were worried by the number of Labour waverers and Labour was bussing canvassers in from all over.
Perhaps Labour's candidate didn't help himself on the doorstep by being abusive about the Greens and promising that the city wouldn't get funding if he wasn't elected.

Throughout the Friday, Tories normally mop up farming/rural seats.

It's an amazing result.
Well done!
Well done you guys. The Green’s worked so hard here.
The Labour canvasser said to me that it was vital for Brighton Pavilion that a link was kept with their likely government. He was a nice bloke, got the impression it was a stock statement.
And quadrupling your presence in the Commons!

Liberal Democrat Charlie Maynard has won Witney, beating the Conservatives in the seat which used to belong to former prime minister and current foreign secretary David Cameron.
