Thread 55: Sunak gives up

[BIossomtoes]

New election thread.

Dimwit McVey holds on.

The amusing thing is that I imagine Sunak, McVey, Badenoch et al really don't want to be MPs.

Bollocks re McVey

Esther McVey always strikes me as very vain so would like to win

Wish they'd hurry up with Truss.

I have been awake for nearly 24 hours. I am not sure which way is up right now but I do know that I have been delighted to share this GE with you all, and the 54 previous threads which began with our collective disgust at Partygate.

❤️❤️❤️ to everyone.

I wish Rory Stewart would stop pretending he’s a classic floating voter.

Craig Williams of Betting Gate has lost to Labour. Bless.

Monmouthshire about to declare. I hope Catherine Fookes wins. KIck the useless David Davies out.

Wipe out in Wales!!!

I'm on the BBC now. But he sounded like a very calm and sensible Uni lecturer in the middle of the night when Alistair and Nadine had their claws out. He's trying to be impartial isn't her? The tweedy, calm politics professor?

My "early night, early morning" strategy is paying off now

To be fair I think he is, he’s previously voted Tory, Lib Dem and Green.

Why the celebrations. The messiah has not come. It will be same shit different day. Good luck cleaning all this mess up.

I now have an SNP MP. Used to have a Tory one. It’s mostly boundary changes so it looks like an SNP hold.

Hoping so hard that my previous MP loses the new seat next door.

Any Tories in Scotland pretty and co?

Woke up and checking in

still a Tory where I am sadly.

Blimey. Bury St Edmunds Labour.

The Eastern region for local TV news used to have zero Labour MPs.

great to see JRM & Gillis gone & Penny.

shame some of the others have hung in!

Mid Beds must be the only place that has gone BACK to Tories surely? It's listed as a Tory hold but that's not really true.

I know that. He even said he was leaning 7/10 to voting for his local Labour candidate this time.

But he’s still not a classic floating voter. He has a higher bar to get over.

North Beds Con hold too. Come on Bedford!! Declare Labour for me.

One so far. John Lamont in Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk.

If you had bothered to read any of the 54 previous threads to this one, you would know that none of us are under any illusions about how hard the road ahead will be.

Still waiting for my constituency to declare but the incumbent Tory has already conceded according to the BBC. We should go LD.

Tugendhat keeps his seat.

Pleased Flynn held on. He really acquitted himself well in the debates.
