It's I think the BBC over estimating tactical voting against SNP. We'll see. Kirsty Wark wasn't convinced, I thought.

Does that make her a Baroness or a Dame? Not sure of these titles but C4 had titled her Dame.

If Harriet Harman is made a life peer, she'll be a Baroness with a seat in the HoL.

A Dame is the female equivalent of a knighthood, i.e. a kind of courtesy title. Knights and Dames can be members of the HoC, whereas peers cannot.

NB: Is 'Sir' JRM standing again? Is his seat 'safe'?

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

I know. And she had the foresight to have a brolly handy. Top flight trolling there.

I can't believe it either.

4.30am, may single my bedtime.

I'm going to bury my head like the Tories and say I think it's bollocks and Reform will only get 9 seats with LDs will nabbing the rest.

Sevenoaks will be where I watch as the disenfranchised Tories there are either LD or Reform from what I can see. Anecdotally it's women LD and men Reform, but that's pretty standard nationwide, I am guessing.

Rishiispushed · 04/07/2024 22:53

Anyway, I am attempting to sleep.

Night night for now.

Thanks for answering that

Other is 19. That's Northern Ireland + 1, presumably the speaker, meaning Corbyn will probably lose his seat.

I forgot NI got to vote. You wouldn't think it as the coverage of them has been non-existent

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

Hapus with that prediction as well!

prettybird · 04/07/2024 22:55

@Grantshappsotherusrnames - iirc (from discussions a long time ago Wink) @derxa lives somewhere in in the Borders.

So no, not non-dom.

cakeorwine · 04/07/2024 22:55

If some Conservatives have gone to Reform, then the Conservatives have a problem.

If they move towards Reform, then they may well lose Conservatives who would never vote Reform.

Bit of an issue for them

Thank fcuk bbc peeing me off with the whole "degree of scepticism" spiel though

Why are you watching them? 😩

tobee · 04/07/2024 22:56

Quite likely that 13 Reform MPs will just fight amongst themselves "no I’m more racist than you!"

GB News predicting a landslide for the Tories...

Just seen a clip of Rishi & his wife voting in Yorkshire. Akshata looked great, she was wearing a lovely dress.

newnamethanks · 04/07/2024 22:59

HH confirmed earlier on C4 she will be Baroness H, working hard to reform HoL.

Even ds, who works in Public Affairs, admitted tonight that he'd forgotten about NI, when I mentioned that the I thought the DUP would be hammered.

placemats · 04/07/2024 23:01

I'm reckoning that so called 'shy Tories' have become emboldened Reformies.

Can't get c4 😭 Laura K talking over everyone is v annoying but loving Naga's hair. Will be waiting for the first count to come in and off to bed for an early start 😊

Yes. They never had a right alternative before. Now they do

I hope the Duppers lose at least 3 seats.
