Well I do hope that @Is it PotG?'s witty one liner is worth the wait and not just yet another variation on 'Sir Kneel'

The way she shuffled onto the edge of the stage amidst slow handclapping, for her cowardice attempting to avoid the "portillo moment" .
Priceless.

Yes, I believe it may be
Could the UK soon have the most working-class cabinet of all time?
More than three-quarters of the shadow cabinet attended state schools – in stark contrast to Sunak’s government.https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ve-the-most-working-class-cabinet-of-all-time

60% turnout is shocking. Apathy or just laziness?

I see it's a Tory hold.

with Lib Dems winning 70+ seats, Labour won't need conservatives in any way. Tories will have absolutely no power and no say in anything

The Greens have got 4 seats on 6.8% whereas Reform the same on 14.3%. The Lib Dems have 71 on 12.3%. That just goes to show that the ground war is very, very effective at elections which the Greens and Lib Dems excel at. They've also been very strategic at drawing up their target seats. Despite Garbage and Lice bleating on about them not having any money
all they do (and are indulged) is the air war. They've got no strategy, it's all been put on a plate for them. They've got no ground war because they're all too idle, lazy to get out and do the work.

It’s an extraordinary talent!
I most wanted Rees-Mogg to disappear, butI think this beats it!

Apathy and disenfranchisement.
Ch4 says Labour vote share is 33.9% so far
So on a 60% turnout that is only 1 in 5 of voters that have actually voted for the government.
As Rory Stewart predicted, change in the electoral system will now be back on the agenda.

For someone who is supposed to be very clever, she is amazingly dim and deluded sometimes.

It looks as though the Conservatives and Labour Party between them will win less than 60% of all votes cast.
That would be the lowest proportion in any election since 1923, when Labour became the primary opposition.

Didn't bother to stay up as this was clearly always going to be a massive win for labour, well let's hope Keir gets off to a flyer and uses an umbrella in his speech!
We should have a clear ten years of no lies and plenty of action, exciting times.
