[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'm not arguing that changing the system wouldn't help Farage, in the short term, anyway. My fears for the future notwithstanding.

I don't think anybody senior in Reform really wants to change the system anyway. They might moan about it now because in the short term they'd get more seats and it'd be weird if they didn't. But the likes of Farage want to lever themselves into power and influence and money. Probably by putting pressure on the Conservatives or directly taking them over. Making the system more representative and making it harder for a single party to have real power doesn't help him do that.

That's not an argument in favour or against of any system, it's a comment on how slimy Farage is.

Fair enough.

Reform, though.

We live in interesting times....

(enjoying a nice Toscana Rosso. BBC is serving me well. Strangely sober night....so far)

hang on....swingometer!

 

[London Irish]

Labour vote down 14% in Newcastle!!!!

 

[Weststander]

ITV’s summary …. extraordinary low turn outs and Reform.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Labour vote down 14% in Newcastle!!!!

And winning the seats.

It'd be more problematic if they hadn't had a clear strategy (that's been reported on for weeks during the campaign, not just this evening) of not trying all that hard in seats where they were clearly always going to win.

If they'd been pushing to maximise their vote in Newcastle and it had still plummeted then there might be a bigger problem.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I really f***ing hope reform don't get the number of seats predicted


I'd rather the Tories got them

The Tories are ****s

Reform are slightly nastier ****s

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Turnout is always low in the North East I believe

 

[Bodian]

Turnout is always low in the North East I believe

But not as low as it is this time around.

Is there anywhere that just lists the full results as they come in, without all the commentary? Vidiprinter stylee? I'm jumping from one site to another trying to find actual vites cast and it's doing my head in.

 

[Berty23]

The labour vote down in Newcastle to independents is linked to Gaza, surely. Isn’t that what we all expected?

 

[Zeberdi]

If she does lose, will she have to give the sword back ?

As per Royal Tradition dating back to the 1470s, in service of her King , Penny Mordaunt will now raise a Private army to invade Suffolk in defence of the landed gentry of Norfolk.
