    Austerity is mismanaging the economy. It’s made the UK an unattractive place to invest and stagnated growth. There’s literally 14 years of data to back that up.

    You and Clint are a perfect example. They have to win disenfranchised Labour voters back to stand a chance of a majority at the next GE. Even I feel like I lent my vote to Labour as it was the tactical vote in my seat to stop the Tories retaining it. My instinct was to vote greens. I suspect...

    Result of the night for me is the Greens getting all four seats they were hoping for. Most pleasing result for me anyway.

    No doubt the seats won vs votes won flatters Labour to deceive. I think the turnout tells a story on its own too though. Down about 7.5%. You also have to consider Reforms performance against previous Ferage fronted parties performances historically. He had a loyal following at the polls long...

    I don’t think anyone in history has deserved to voted out more than Truss.

    True, but reform are going to come under the scrutiny of a party in parliament for the first time. They’ve never come under that scrutiny before unlike the established parties. People understand what frauds the established party are and that already reflects on their vote share. Reform are in...

    Labour gain Swindon from the Tories. Just for Earlsdon another leave seat IIRC and reform came 3rd behind the Tories. 62% turnout so that’s an improvement on other confirmed turnouts.

    It’s an observation based on the actual results. Far from rattled the results indicate that actually Reform didn’t do as well as expected in 3 seats now where you would think recent history would assist their cause more than it clearly did.

    Sunderland central declared, Labour hold and another low turnout at 52%. The talk of high turnout looking like bollocks. Mind you the source does seem to be CCHQ who also claimed that the London mayoral count was too close to call, just before Khan won by a landslide. At the current rate it...

    Leave seats too. They’ve just done a exit polls comparison on the BBC of how many votes the Tories are losing in both leave and remain seats and although Reform are picking up the majority of lost Tory votes in leave seats they not taking all of them, even the LD’s are picking them up. According...

    The Tories are going to have to do some serious soul searching. Certainly on a seats count according to the exit poll the phoney culture war bullshit rabbit hole they went down is not an election winner. vote share you can only assume will confirm that too.

    It’s hard to tell, could be high in one area/seat but shit in another. Interestingly The Telegraph has just reported that CCHQ are claiming that the turnout is high.
