UK General Election 2024 - Results Day

[dmlaw]

If Farage hadn't stepped into the fray and turbo-boosted Reform, how would this election have gone?

The way the results have borne out I suspect it might have been a hung parliament. Certainly the Conservatives would have done considerably better.

That’s giving Farage way too much credit. There haven’t been that many seats where the Reform vote could have flipped the result and they would still have gotten thousands of votes without the Farage effect.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh hang on, we haven't had Rees-Mogg yet, have we?

Apparently OUT

 

[Indie]

Father of the House Peter Bottomley GONE

[funky]

Hunt sounds exhausted.

he looks it too. Gaunt and dishevelled.

 

[Madison]

Who's next in line?

Sir Edward Leigh is the new Father of the House. Corbyn is second in line.

 

[Indie]

Apparently OUT

OH PLEASE GOD

 

[funky]

Apparently OUT

I WON'T believe it until it happens. I can't take the disappointment.

 

[funky]

is it wrong that I'll be happier with Rees Mogg gone than Labour winning power

 

[Shoat]

Rees-Mogg and Baker are the must-watches remaining

I don't hold hope of Truss being removed

Sky saying 10 seats left to win

Corbyn isn’t Father he’s DADDY.

Joanna Cherry GONE

 

[Lucille]

Love Corbyn rolling up his sleeves like Jark on a first date.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

EXCELLENT

 

[octophone]

Joanna Cherry GONE

Fucking YES

 

[Lucille]

Wes’s speech is actually vile.

 

[Shoat]

Pleasing to see some of the Green performances.

They quadrupled their vote in Reading, giving the Tories a good run to second place.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

CHERRY GONE

 

[VoR]

I've found it easier than I expected to stay awake for this.

Then again, I have been guzzling cider since 9.30, so I must be due an almighty sugar crash any moment now.

 

[GNL]

Wes’s speech is actually vile.

He always seems driven purely by SPITE.

 

[dmlaw]

So, who’s got work in the morning?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Labour GAIN DOVER!

 

[Lucille]

He always seems driven purely by SPITE.

Ugly self hating vers gay!

Yes I said it!

 

[Indie]

I could genuinely stay up all until the last result.

Sadly i have to drive to Suffolk in about 7 hours

 

[Indie]

Sky calling a Labour majority gained

 

[octophone]

So, who’s got work in the morning?

NOPE. Took the day off the day Sunak announced.

 

[Lucille]

I've found it easier than I expected to stay awake for this.

I’d love to go to bed! Why am I GRIPPED!

 

[big ron]

So, who’s got work in the morning?

I'm writing an article with one eye shut

 

[Slave]

Sky declaring a Labour win.

Sky declaring a Labour win.

What have they been doing for the past 7 hours?

 

[Indie]

What have they been doing for the past 7 hours?

As in, exactly 326 seats have officially been counted and confirmed as Labour.

 

[Slave]

As in, exactly 326 seats have officially been counted and confirmed as Labour.

Yes.

 

[funky]

I have to say I didn't see this complete shift in Scotland coming. A shift yes, but it's almost a complete wipeout.

 

[VoR]

I'd quite like a live cut to Ed Davey reacting to a significant SNP scalping around now, just for the narrative neatness.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

As in, exactly 326 seats have officially been counted and confirmed as Labour.

Is that the absolute majority figure? BBC is only showing Labour on 323, which would be above the functional majority number.

 

[Indie]

MOGG TIME

 

[Shoat]

Thank FUCK for "working from home". I don't think I'm sleeping for a while.

There's been such a flurry of names. Can we have a memorial thread for all of the slain once everything has settled? I'd hate for us to have missed a celebration.

 

[funky]

WHAT CHANNELS IS MOGG ON

 

[Lucille]

Is it Yvette Cooper actually from Wakefield? She sounds like me at my Dad’s pub failing to shake the London out of my accent.

 

[Indie]

Is that the absolute majority figure? BBC is only showing Labour on 323, which would be above the functional majority number.

Sky seems a little ahead of BBC on this
