He's resigning? I know he lost but I thought he'd stay on. Only 4 seats for Reform is, better, I guess.

I've just woken up. Good night for Labour then? :D Maybe one can hope that the increased scrutiny will expose Farage but I'm not confident.

So that's another constituency where Reform are second. I don't know yet how terrified I should be.

Somehow I'm not too surprised that Reform had a big turnout in Sunderland.

They'll always have their supporters. I think it's easy for us to focus on the Tory result over the significant Labour win but ultimately they're not in power anymore.

It seemed like Boris Johnson's antics, though they caught up with him in the end, were not taken seriously enough. He got away with so many things that other politicians just wouldn't.

They didn't even hide their nastiness over the last few years. It's almost as though they wanted to be voted out.

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.

Do we tend to see drastic changes from the exit poll? I can't remember.

That's rather significant.

I'm also based in Birmingham but he's not in my constituency. I'm aware of him though and the thing I don't understand is why the situation in Gaza is part of his manifesto.

I totally believed that Labour would have sneaked it in 2019, as that's what the mood seemed to be. Granted, the mood is even stronger in their favour this time round but I still have that little bit of worry.

Just voted. The station itself wasn't very busy but I doubt that's an indicator. I'm intrigued as to how many votes they'll have in total. The 2019 general election was approximately 32 million, with the 2015 election being 30.7 million, and 2010 being 29.7 million. The EU Referendum was 33.6 million.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I was also 12 the last time Labour was in power. The country deserves to heal from the damage inflicted over the years.

Loosely related but I remember Lee Nelson (the comedian) doing a routine on TV and asked an older gentleman in the audience "who did you vote for?" (with no prior context). He said "Tories", leading to some boos from the audience. Lee Nelson goes "I'm talking about The X Factor". That was 2013. I imagine that would be more unpopular now!

Those who liked Boris Johnson that much, despite everything about him that was pretty clear, won't vote for anyone else regardless. I'd be amazed if there's many people still on the fence.

Bit of a lazy thing to go for, as that's surely one of the least controversial things he's said and done. I can't think of anything wrong with that.

Solo careers that went bad
Aston Merrygold from JLS? Though I don't know if he was expected to do much. Zayn from 1D, I think he had a lot of initial momentum that he didn't make the most of.

Dishonest because people disagreed with him? Is that what he's saying?
