Carnage for the Tories

Expected Labour majority huge historically but not surprising.

Thing that shocks me the most on the exit poll is the SNP only predicted to get 10 seats.That's a massive fall. In 2015 they won 56 seats out of 59 available. The chances of Scottish independence look as far off as it has for a long, long time.

He's not beaten Blair. 170 majority.

Reform 13 seats. Lib Dems 61.

Fascinating to see that a 3%ish increase in votes gives such a big swing in seats.  For a stats geek that's fascinating.

Farage's parry getting 13 seats is also going to be nothing short of dramatic over the next few years.

Suggestion is reform will get more votes than Lib Dems but around 50 less seats. Hows the feeling about or now?

13 seats for Reform is a big shock.

That’s the Tories going full on anti-immigration then.

The Tories have avoided extinction with 131 seats. That's where the positives end for them.

Strongly predicted to have won both Barnsley seats according to Sky News .

Given the size of the Labour victory tonight  and the fact the town has always voted Labour I don't know what to say .

However people are entitled to vote how they see things , that's democracy .

Let’s see how it firms up


Has been dead on in the past. Usual +/- in the region of just 1%

So Labour maybe between 406 to 414 Seats  ?

I just have to say yyyyyaaaaaaf*****ghhhhhhooooooooooooooooooo

I've said many times , we need PR

Get 10 % of Vote get 10 % of the Seats

Ffs it's not rocket science , and if it's good enough for Belarus should WE the Mother of all Parliaments be alongside them or with every other mainland EUropean Country

Sorry keys stuck on EU . Won't be long now till we are back in

He'll be off to California soon even if he wins Richmond.

He'll tell his pals the date he will resign his Seat so they can get their bets on of course

I reckon Reform are going to be near or just above the 20 seats mark despite what the Exit Poll says .

''Jeremy Hunt is projected to lose his seat, according to the exit poll. He would be the first chancellor in modern history to lose his seat.

Hunt is the most high-profile cabinet minister predicted to lose his seat – but he is by no means the only one.

Grant Shapps, the defence minister, and Johnny Mercer, the veterans minister, could also lose their seats''

fingers crossed

In 1997, in anticipation of Tony Blair’s Labour Party kicking out the Tories after 18 years in power, I booked the Friday off work.

I set up camp in front of the telly and watched the night unfold until dawn broke in more ways than one.
It was a wonderful night and I felt elated the following day.

I’m retired now, so for the first time in my life I have no need to get up for work on the Friday morning after an election, and no need to book a holiday.

I’m sitting here, glass of wine in hand, loving every minute of this.

Country is utterly broken by decades of incompetence from both labour and Tory rule. Whilst change was definitely needed, I very much doubt it’s the magic wand some people are making it out to be. There are huge, huge social and economic problems to fix, in a vastly different world to 1997. Hope he delivers. Not all too confident though.

Amazingly accurate poll yet again. The guys who do that are so clever.

The turnout is really low and amazing to see the results really.  Labour with a huge win but ultimately amazing they gey way less votes than 2017 and such a different results.  What an odd system we have in this country.

Great to wake up and see 15% of the vote represented by 4 out of 650 seats. Some system.

When Thatcher first won I was painting the eaves and gable on brothers Semi.

I did half on Polling day , then the results came in and I never went back
