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

[Ethelwulf]

And there it is!! A great moment for this country.

Starmer has worked a miracle to turn this around from 2019.

He took the party to the centre from the left played it safe and watched the tories fall apart

 

[Gabbiano]

Independent gains from Labour in high proportion Muslim seats Blackburn and Dewsbury. An interesting sub-plot that.

 

[Weststander]

Mental health services, housing, NHS, hope for the young, help for those in need …. praying this is a seminal moment in sorting out these neglected train wrecks.

 

[Machiavelli]

North Herefordshire Green win

Oh la la

Edit: does anyone know if Waveney has been announced yet? If they get that, then there might be as many Green MPs as Reform

Chance that pro Gaza independents will have more seats than Reform.

Historic turnaround for Labour. 5 years ago the right wing rags were telling us 3 terms of Johnson were coming

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hooray for having a clever, rather dull, not venal, Prime minister.

 

[chickens]

I will be allowing myself a small whisky, for the first time in over a decade I feel a little bit of optimism for the future.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

When did you get that?

Yesterday, midday ish

 

[Pevenseagull]

Historic turnaround for Labour. 5 years ago the right wing rags were telling us 3 terms of Johnson were coming

with a super duper majority?

 

[Weststander]

North Herefordshire Green win

After all those years Caroline was a pioneering lone voice.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Night people ….. see you again in five years

 

[Eeyore]

I can safely say that everyone on here wants to go to sleep but doesn't want to miss a Portillo Deluxe moment in Norfolk. Please make it happen.

They’ll literally save lives, hopefully within weeks.

Anyone else emotional? Great speech by KS, bits borrowed from JFK in 1960?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

When is the Truss result due?

Currently running at 4-4. Bradford seats still to call.

 

[Since1982]

Still waiting on Mid Sussex. My Mrs is doing the count - no news yet.

 

[jcdenton08]

Great speech from Starmer.

Absolutely hammering home change in his party. Brilliant, reassuring and nail on the head for so many of us centrists and moderates.

I want boring people doing good work quietly and Starmer’s message pressed all the right buttons for me.

 

[The Fits]

Amazing result for greens in Herefordshire.
