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

[Thunder Bolt]

Theresa May’s old constituency Maidenhead has gone LibDem

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I have to say Channel 4’s coverage has been superb, Maitlis, Guru-Murrhy, Campbell and Stewart have been excellent and asked decent questions of the candidates.

Genuinely very impressed.

I’ve been watching Ch4 news for several years now. It’s quite balanced,

 

[TomandJerry]

We've still got plenty of results coming in, and in the last few minutes the Liberal Democrats have picked up three seats - Epsom and Ewell, Horsham, and Newbury - all from the Conservatives.

Meanwhile Labour has picked up Northampton North, Reading West and Mid Berkshire, and Stoke-on-Trent South - also from the Conservatives.

 

[HangletonGull]

Just waiting on Lizzy come on

 

[nwgull]

Tories will get over 150, it is a guarantee

Wrong!!!!

 

[TomandJerry]

Farage won his seat ...


The Reform leader overturned a 25,000 Conservative majority to take Clacton in Essex by more than 8,000 votes.

In a speech after the result was announced, Mr Farage said it was "the first step of something that is going to stun all of you".

What's happening in Crawley?

 

[The Fits]

Lib Dems picking up a lot of the rural seats.

It was terrible for the first hour with Dorries throwing a strop, but yes, once she went the analysis was really good. Even Widdecombe had some interesting points to make.

 

[Jim in the West]

Jonathon Gullis out - great stuff (apols - just catching up)

 

[TomandJerry]

Good because I see our tactical voting ousted the Tories in our area and won LD their seat.

Unlikely.

 

[TomandJerry]

Reform have won two seats ?!

 

[The Fits]

Record number of female MPs. Great stuff.

 

[Machiavelli]

Looks like Truss has lost

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Truss looks like she’s lost!

 

[Weststander]

Bbc saying Truss lost.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Truss in 10 mins. May well have lost.

The Labour canvasser said to me that it was vital for Brighton Pavilion that a link was kept with their likely government.

You'd think pork barrel politics wouldn't be a great impression to give of an incoming government when canvassing. Shows in the result.

4 unfortunately
