Thread 54 Sunak: On His Majesty's Secret Curtice., Polling Night Special

[RishisLeavingDo]

It's time

I meant the checkered scarf! Not the lacy ruffle.

Not liking the Reform votes so far.

Like Brexit, it's a howl into the void protest vote !

Anyone would think the only story of night was Reform not Labour gaining seats from Conservatives

Crikey. Through the 1st bag of popcorn already. Saving the other for 3am.

Enjoying Mad Nad saying they lost voters to reform because they gave up on brexit.

Nope its the same vote as brexit, ignore our needs at your peril.

Jaunty hat on the acting returning officer

Ffs I really wanted to watch C4 but every time I flip over Widdecombe is on.

Yes so far it's been a bit disparaging of Labour landslide and acting like Reform are the victors

Part of me is scared for the number of people voting Reform.

But, and this is a big but, this doesn't mean it will translate into seats.

Similar thing happened fur UKIP in 2919, they got over 4 million votes, but only won 1 seat - and where are they now?

Hopefully more about the Brexity area

It feels like the European elections where ukip made a splash

What's that tell black seat on Jeremy Vines map thing? Looked Liverpool way?

Let’s not forget UKIP fizzled away because Brexit happened, Reform are their love child with the BNP.

Tall not tell

. Ds just said Lindsey Hoyle

Sadly they just agitators without a cause now

We were wondering that too

The BBC coverage is dreadful. So low energy.

It is Hoyle's seat. As speaker he doesn't stand for re-election

Zahawi is in denial

Sam Freedman predicted Reform would come second to Labour in 30+ seats in north and midlands.

👀

The exit poll suggests that Broxbourne - a seat with a 19,000 Tory majority, a seat that has been Tory since its creation in 1983 - is going to Labour

yes. The black seat is the speaker where the big parties don’t stand against the speaker.

I think all of them are and too much graphics/info on the screen and too much colour

Mind you it's always tricky when not much happening. It'd just all REFORM REFORM REFORM.

Yea it’s a new angle. The actual story is how much Reform are eating the Tories and how can the Tories get them back?

I do find the lamenting the Reform vote on the coverage is entirely missing the point this is a historic win for Labour.
