[Bozza]

If they bring on Rio Ferdinand and Micah Richards I'm off to ITV

....where Andy Townsend is just settling in for the night?

Sky news also reporting Truss will hold on to her seat - 85% chance.

 

[BadFish]

They keep talking about how Labour have won this without letting anyobe know what they are going to do.

Surely this is a case of the Tories losing the election rather than Labour winning it?

 

[HangletonGull]

Portsmouth north anyone ?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Often Labour?

Been Tory and the people hear can be a little... erm racist?

....where Andy Townsend is just settling in for the night?

He should be on the BBC though really,

Myrie: “Andy, a difficult night for the Conservatives?”

Townsend: “Not for me, Clive”

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

The Guardian suggested the major Reform targets other than the ones above are:

Great Yarmouth (Rupert Lowe- the ex Southampton chairman!)
NW Leicestershire
Skipton & Ripon (Yorkshire)
Castle Point (Essex)
Louth & Horncastle (Lincs)
Basildon & Billericay (Essex)

Other articles suggest Thurrock (Essex), East Thanet (north Kent), Rochester & Stroud (Kent), Rother Valley (Rotherham), Stoke on Trent North, Tipton & Wednesbury (W.Mids), Stoke on Trent Central and West Bromwich.

The one thing all of these have in common, of course, is that they are places where you wouldn't want to live in a million years.

I went to college for two years in Castle Point...

Best achievement in that time was clocking the Asteroids machine

I haven’t heard from Terry for a few hours (he’s busy with media etc).

 

[weetle]

As predicted, Conservatives expected to win my Hamble Valley constituency. So depressing.

Other than that though, looking like a good night! Pringles, Haribo and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on the go!

Tory candidate was the Eastleigh MP but moved across the new boundary rather than getting booted out - seems Eastleigh has gone to Lib Dems

 

[Bozza]

Has anywhere given a projected %age share of the vote per party yet?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

My constituency, Mid Sussex, predicted to go Lib Dem. Never thought I would see the day it wasn't blue.

Same. If- IF!- it happens, it would feel quite seismic, wouldn't it?

 

[Weststander]

What on Earth prompted Baker to go on the BBC tonight?

Lamb to the slaughter.

Politicians by their very nature love the limelight and think they can influence. Similarly Sturgeon’s on ITV on their worst night for a generation or more.

They don’t go away quietly. Unless they’re go on to make $100m in Silicon Valley.

 

[HangletonGull]

So reform killed the Tory party oh this exit poll could be not accurate

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

That’s what I’m am trying to find out.

I’m home now and decided not to go to the Count as I was too tired so can’t offer much. I haven’t heard from Terry for a few hours (he’s busy with media etc).

The BBC hasn’t updated it’s “live” coverage for hours

Former PM Liz Truss loses seat as Labour, Reform, Greens and Lib Dems make gains

Liz Truss loses her South West Norfolk seat to Labour's Terry Jermy as Labour, the Greens, Reform and the Lib Dems make gains.

Faversham predicted to stay Tory. Boo. BOOO! Boo.

At least you'll still get your bins emptied

 

[pasty]

Horsham exit poll "too close to call" That in itself is massive

 

[Bozza]

Lord Professor Sir John Curtice OBE CBE, finally.

My constituency, Mid Sussex, predicted to go Lib Dem. Never thought I would see the day it wasn't blue.

Lib Dems certainly put in the effort , let's hope she's a good constituency mp ( if she wins )
