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

[RishisLeavingDo]

It's time

I had to check the exit polls online as DH and I were busy trying to work out whether Peter Mandelson was really wearing a chainmail tie on the BBC.

He's probably tired from packing ready for the move

410 was pretty much bang on for Labour opinion polls. The others slightly more mixed

Normally the area would be plastered with Tory posters. The only one we've seen is outside our Tory councillor's house. But Fuller has been campaigning quite hard and the others don't seem to have put in too much effort. I suspect it'll stay blue but with a much smaller majority.

Angela Rayner has her party eyeshadow on. I like it.

Tories still not getting the message...

And they wonder why they lost!

Its the will of the people as one might say.

Has anyone poked the transist bear?

Delighted with the landslide.

Concerned about Reform but part of me thinks those 13 (if correct) won't cope with being MPs. Can't see them lasting the course.

30p lee predicted to loose! He isn't a million miles from me I'll pop him 30p over for his next meal.

Very pleased with 4 for Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Good result given the boundary changes.

Ooh. Fabulous!

They are going to come for people like me. Even I am shocked about the SNP predictions. Scotland was left to rot by Labour the last time

Exit poll is apparently suggesting 12 Conservative seats in Scotland - including Aberdeen South. I very definitely don't believe that. Aberdeen South, if it rejects Flynn, would go Labour rather than Conservative.

@derxa

Can you explain?

Are you a non-dom?

Can someone explain why some of the frantic action at the counts involve the boxes I posted my ballot into and some are bags??

Pray 🙏 you are right about 30p. Like to see him queuing at the food bank for a tin of beans and a sliced white. B'srtd.

Might it be that the exit poll is slightly flumoxed by the size of the swing and the number of seats that are 3 way?

I loved how low key she was. Inside she must be deliriously happy.

😯

Yeah, I don't buy that either.

I did not expect Scotland to vote for tories anywhere

I think the bags are postal votes. They're not allowed to be counted until the polls closed.
