Either that or there was a place in East Anglia that some MRPs predicted might go Green. Or both and they have lost Brighton Pavilion so be interesting to see.

Iirc, the Greens have come close to winning in Norwich, Bristol and of course Brighton.

Let‘s assume that Sturgeon’s husband isn’t counting. +/- a couple of seats.

This is the best part of the night, the northern seats racing, literally competing, to be the first seat to declare the result.

I remember 2019 really well, when they recounted Blyth because they thought the Tories had won, you knew it was going to be a long night for Labour.

They’ll support Lib Dems too who are pretty strong in the more rural constituencies

As much as it pains me to say, I’m glad that the Tories still have a chunk of seats (probably 20-30 too many for an ideal!) as any further regression would have emboldened Reform more than they feel currently.

Feels like a loss to me. This will feel like a win to the Tories.

Tried this earlier but nobody bothered. Not it's all but confirmed the Tory cunts are out.

What are your hopes for the new government, what should they do first?

Although John Curtis has just added some weight to it as they have less sampling points in Scotland for the exit polls.

Best bet if they want growth in five years is radical planning reform. I want an announcement HS2 is back on the table personally.

Tories in 1997 : 165 seats

Anything less than that is a disaster.

We all hoped that the mad Survation polls were right. They were outliers.

If 131 seats are correct, that is a fucking rout.

Ed Davey's merry troubadours on 61 is also a plus for overall progressive parties.

Don't be disappointed because we didn't win ten nil. 7-0 is good enough.

Channel 4 hiring Nadine Dorries seemed an odd move but it's great, she's just squirming and further showing that she's a 67 year old child.

HS2 back on as their first action. Madness. They need to get a move on with the zero carbon electricity and reduced bills first, although giving children the vote will probably take priority.

It's an absolute drubbing make no mistake.

Corbyn 2017 would have destroyed Tories if it would have been now. He has actually hurt the Labour majority.

If Tory scum can fuck the country as they have over the last 14 years and still get these seats.
