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

[Kinky Gerbil]

Looks like Farage has won

 

[Cheshire Cat]

If there is one Tory I'd like to see retain her seat, be unable to enrich herself lecturing in the US, and forced to grace the Tory front bench with her charisma, surefootedness, and insights, reminding us all of her glorious week as PM, it would be thick Lizzy.

No. Far better if she vanished without trace in Hicksville, North Dakota.

 

[HangletonGull]

Torys could get less

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

She’s hilarious, Boris saved the total wipeout

Switch to

Lord Professor Sir John Curtice OBE CBE, finally.

I reckon Tony Bloom could do a decent exit poll algorithm if he wanted to.

Truss - 84% likely to keep seat - sorry @Zeberdi
Pavilion - 99% likely Green
Shoreham / Adur / Worthing - 99% likely Labour gain (blimey)
And 99% Lib Dem for me.

Twat. Let's hope those who claim the scrutiny he will face in parliament will be his ruin.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Portsmouth north anyone ?

Hope she wears the outfit for the count.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

At least you'll still get your bins emptied

Not happening (brown bin) at the moment. Why would anything change?

 

[Weststander]

Green only 1 seat :-( At least that poll has Reform on only 2. Wouldn't hate that. Farage and the Defector wouldn't work.

It’s one gain.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

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

My Dad is the most dyed in the wool Conservative voter you could imagine, and I've no doubt stuck with them today even after fourteen years of this crap, but even he conceded that Alison Bennett is a good sort.

 

[Fungus]

Truro and Falmouth turning red. Happy with that.

 

[Weststander]

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

White Londoners, exemplifed by Chelsea supporters.

 

[WATFORD zero]

It’s one gain.

It looks like Greens have got Brighton Pavilion and Bristol central

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Torys could get less

Less support or fewer seats?

I couldn't resist, but I won't apologize

 

[Weststander]

Looks like Farage has won

Betfair made Clacton something like 1/7 for Farage.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

So who will be the next Tory leader then. I thought it would be Penny Mordaunt but it seems she may lose her seat.

 

[Zeberdi]

No. Far better if she vanished without trace in Hicksville, North Dakota.

Anyone that says otherwise need to give their head a wobble - Constituency aside, she is not worth a penny of the tax payers money - social climber, not one ministerial job that she’s shown an aptitude for (let alone left thousands stuck with mortgage payments they are struggling to pay back because they took them out in the aftermath of her disasterous mini budget) and a political opportunist who thinks of nothing but brown-nosing to anyone that can serve her political ambitions.

So who will be the next Tory leader then. I thought it would be Penny Mordaunt but it seems she may lose her seat.

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.

This is the list I have:

Barnsley North[note 5]

Hartlepool[note 20]

Barnsley South[note 5]

Doncaster North

Easington

South Shields

Rotherham

Normanton and Hemsworth[note 5]

Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney[note 5]

Houghton and Sunderland South

Caerphilly

Kingston upon Hull East

Wigan

Pontypridd

Neath and Swansea East[note 5]

Washington and Gateshead South[note 5]

Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley[note 5]

Jarrow and Gateshead East[note 5]

Torfaen

Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice[note 5][note 21]

Other seats Reform is targeting

Constituency

Ashfield

Boston and Skegness[13]

Clacton[14]

Louth and Horncastle

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Liberal complaining about FPTP again. Far cough.

(and you can stop campaigning now, Rosie, FFS).

 

[BadFish]

Looks like Farage has won

Well the immigration problem in Claction is huge. You have to expect Reform to do well in the constituencies with such a low white population.

 

[BN41Albion]

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