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

[GT49er]

A "loveless landslide" sounds about right to me. It will be very interesting to see how much the actual number of votes cast has gone up for Labour, if at all. 4 parties over 10% will mean that the cries for electoral change will get very much louder.

Not from a majority of the electorate they won't. Long time before another referendum anyway - once every 40 years or so is about the norm. Tough buns.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Baker on the BBC rather than at his own count, where he has a <1% chance of winning.

Under the make up you can see he's a spotty little fucker

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Christ on a bike. Dorries is banging on about Johnson again. Her infatuation with him is just bizarre.

Also the LibDems. They may’ve quadrupled their seats, whilst just gaining 1-2% of the electorate from bungee jumping.

I wonder if the likes of Peston will actually mention other hard facts that don’t fit a narrative?

 

[Mike Small]

Dorries is something else.

Really, really terrible person. She started off by saying how much she felt resposnsible for the people who voted for her and worked for her. She did sweet FA for her constituents. Dreadful human. Tried to accuse Campbell of being sexist.

He's right - get over that child denying, law breaking, narcissist Johnson.

Would be a bonus if Widdecombe dies on air.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

I know of Clacton, Ashfield and Skegness, but where are the other 10 out and proud racist areas of the UK?

Nice!

Was hoping for Tory <100, but I'll take it!

Yes - I feel a little disappointed really.

131 predicted for Tories. With Shy Tory syndrome it will be 160, Hopefully taking the 13 off Farage and his scum gang.

Shy Tories are a 'thing' in the pre-election polls, but not the exit polls surely? Hopefully all the Tories were out earlier than normal, and the other voted later in the day and skew the results a bit to lower the Tory count. I mentioned earlier that this is based on the marginals - and the exit polls might miss the bigger swings in the non-marginals. So, still hope that they might get under 100. Can't really see 13 for Reform, be interested to see where they are.

Burnley?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

WTF

Who is the ‘emperor off star wars’ character on C4? It can hardly breath!!

I wanted to see Stewart and Campbell, but sod the gimmicks (and ads). I'm sticking with BBC1.

 

[KZNSeagull]

At least we won't be hearing about Scottish Independence every week at PMQ's anymore.

 

[Mike Small]

The shy Tories have, based on the exit poll, doubled the 65 predicted by all and sundry.

It’s be a shame now to see the right wingers such as Truss re-elected.

The shy Tories are the real winners tonight.

 

[Yoda]

Holy cow, Tory strongholds of Worthing East & Shoreham and Worthing West exit polls:

2024 exit poll forecast​

Likelihood
LIKELY LAB GAIN 99%+

2024 exit poll forecast​

Likelihood
TOO CLOSE TO CALL
POSSIBLE LAB GAIN 71%
POSSIBLE CON HOLD 29%

There are no ads on the Ch4 program.

I wasn't predicting that. I thought less than 150 and more than 100 so this is a mid point. Reform will have prevented 190

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Bat - shit crazy woman for Reform on c4 AND crazy Nadine - jeez I hope they don’t give them too much airtime!

 

[armchairclubber]

Is this a joke. Steve Baker and Peter Mandelson in the BBC studio.

That tells you all you need to know about this election.

Goodnight.

Smirking *****

It depends. If they cease to be shy (and declare their support) after voting I'd be surprised.

Switch to BBC1.
