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

[kevo]

Something the BBC at least haven’t really emphasised is the SNP implosion. They’re losing seats to Labour left, right and centre - getting an absolute shellacking and only on 4(!) seats.

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

I think they’ve been hugely unpopular in government basically, simple as that

48 to 6 seats.

I’ve watched some of BBC Scotland, they’re getting annihilated.

How many we looking at for labour now ?

 

[nwgull]

BBC have revised Con seat forecast back down to 144.

 

[Gabbiano]

How come there are parts of urban West Midlands which are so staunchly Conservative? Places like Solihull and Sutton Coldfield will always go blue.

This is a dynamic you dont see in even the leafiest parts of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds or Glasgow.

Genuinely, we fell for media hype over the last fortnight. Starting with just 65 seats, LibDems the official opposition, quite possibly the end of the 200 year old Tory party.

Where are you getting this 65 seat number from that you keep quoting as I haven't seen it anywhere

(Except for your posts, obviously )

Get in! Jonny Mercer and his missus out of a job.

Fred Thomas is a decent bloke regardless of party politics so really chuffed for him.

 

[jcdenton08]

Yvette Cooper hangs on in Pontefract, my old stomping ground

 

[A1X]

Peston reckons Truss may have lost

The arrest of wee Jimmy Crankies husband, alleged missing party funds, the Hamzah Yousef kerfuffle, that nutjob deputy first minister.

Self inflicted implosion

Agreed, but that's a relatively recent phenomenon. Think Sturgeon knew what was coming when she stepped down and that, combined with 17 years in power, was always going to turn against them. Also, indyref2 has gone quiet and, probably more importantly, public services have collapsed, cost of living has been biting, etc, and all of that favours Labour.

And has @rippleman points out above, lots and lots of sleaze

Fareham and Waterlooville. What are you on?

Unfortunately, a lot of ex servicemen are racist.

When does the People's Republic of Brighton and Hove declare their new Government
