The MN exit poll is interesting.

Thanks 😊

If truely representative it gives real hope of a LD opposition

It's very busy atm, but the percentages aren't moving much.

Me too, had another little sob
dd WA me with a photo outside her polling station proof she voted, her first time & she is nearly forty finally tick that off my bucket list.
polling station was busy, the staff looked shattered.

Yes that Andy Murray tribute was a handy outlet for emotions. Wish it had been a bit of a longer distraction tbh!

Also it disturbed my nap time!

If you haven't done so you've still got 25 minutes to go and vote

Preaching to the choir probably

Dissolution honours. Pleased to see Harriet Harman, Margaret Beckett and Margaret Hodge in there. Also Theresa May.

This is such a lovely thread.💕

Like the MN of 18 years ago when Dd was a baby. Everyone being nice and supportive instead of having a go at each other.

Sorry Xpost

Craig McKinley? Formerly of UKIP? Bloody hell.

Lovely to see Minette Batters honoured, that’s very well deserved.

Have they not noticed Reform's plan to get out of the ECHR? What exactly do they imagine will happen to women's rights without that protection?

I thought that only happens after they leave office!

Coffey, Grayling, & Dowden. FFS.

I know. Unreal.

15 minutes to go

Do we keep the thread numbering and Sunak in title for the big one?

I think it would be good to do so?

Sunak: the finale.

But never Bercow.

I actually think Rishi's Leaving Do is a great thread title!

Get your suitcase of wine ready!

Quality trolling by Channel 4. Mad Nad sat by the soon to be Lady Harman!
