I think it's the most staggering result of the night.

Ever been in the Burrell Arms? 😀

That is absolutely astounding. Maybe there's hope for East Grinstead and Uckfield after all..

Wow - destroyed them!

I don't think East Grinstead and Uckfield will follow suit, unfortunately... although Uckfield has a Labour council.

Lol. Safest Tory seat in the UK?!

Hunt scrapes in.

I think 'the north' has a long tradition of Labour politics that doesn't really exist in the Midlands. So even people who live in the posh bits grew up with Labour politics. The suburbs around Birmingham are very conservative (with a small c) and not really any different to the south.

I wonder why that is. Why is there less appetite for Scottish nationalism?

Mourdant up next... and gone!

Yes got to be a factor. People disillusioned with politics - also explains rise of Reform.

Boston has a 'Deport all Illegal Immigrants' candidate? Presumably Reform is too left wing for him.

Yeah, the Brexit thing did him no favours.

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

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.

Fareham and Waterlooville. What are you on?

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.

Notice the Labour candidate refused to shake frog-face's hand.

Now known as Nazi-on-Sea

Corbyn has won Islington North apparently
