July 4, 2024Jul 4 18 NI plus one other. Presumably Corbyn or Galloway. D'oh. Me of all people should have known that!
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Wouldn't have thought a Labour majority could happen even two years ago. As for Reform... I mean, at least it's only 13 but hopefully they won't be making too much noise.
July 4, 2024Jul 4 This looks like a really low vote % way for Labour to get 400+ seats. That’s FPTP for you. Utterly ridiculous voting system.
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Labour forecast 410 seats! :w00t: Still hoping the Cons can get sub 100 seats. I'll be up all night as well unless I pass out. I want to at least make it to 3am to see my constituency's results.
July 4, 2024Jul 4 That’s FPTP for you. Utterly ridiculous voting system. The high reform seats (in Tory areas) and high other seats (in previous Labour safe seats) suggests a very divided vote. I think the recent Labour polling falls in the last couple of days may have come to pass but we will see! Edited July 4, 2024Jul 4 by Harve
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Watching BBC Scotland right now and it seems the SNP representatives are jumping on the narrative of 'SNP's underperformance can be explained away as voters lending a hand to Labour to deliver change and get the Tories out'. A convenient line to go with, but the SNP have definitely suffered since Sturgeon's resignation.

July 4, 2024Jul 4 Labour's forecast vote up 18% in Scotland, although interestingly seems to suggest their vote is down 2% in London. Don't think they'll lose seats in London though.
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Exit poll is promising, hopefully the actual results go more in favour of the other parties and less so the conservatives. 131 seats for the conservatives will be the lowest number of seats they've ever had. Historically the worst result they have ever had :cheer:

July 4, 2024Jul 4 Not too concerned about the SNP overall tbh. BBC Scotland don't really seem to have anybody on advocating for the SNP :thinking: but when the Holyrood election comes around I can see the SNP holding stronger vs. this election purely being driven by people finally wanting rid of the Tories.
July 4, 2024Jul 4 They're definitely set for a historic disaster. :clap:Â I need Labour to really sting them with that fact as the conservatives will try to make things be "disappointing" for Labour not getting a bigger majority. :rolleyes:
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Really wish they wouldn't have politicians on these things, just give us the results not the politics.
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Tories and Reform are higher than I hoped but at least it's not a huge shock (although it certainly doesn't fill me with confidence about my own constituency). Can't really be too greedy, I'll just hope that they are being a bit overestimated x Am going to try my best to tune out until tomorrow now - Laura Kuenssberg being on BBC coverage makes it an easier decision to opt out of viewing!
July 4, 2024Jul 4 Author okay can you f*** off with the 'Labour has changed' 'Corbyn & McDonnell' would have been the worst thing ever come on now Peter Mandelson and Steve Baker of all people as reps on the BBC is ridic
July 4, 2024Jul 4 It's no surprise that the Conservatives are forecast to do so badly in this election. The UK has really gone downhill over the last few years with them in charge, then there are all the scandals that they've been involved with and they way they handled Covid and cost of living.
