Thread 55: Sunak gives up

[BIossomtoes]

New election thread.

Wales is now Tory-free 🎉🎉🎉

I'm glad Sunak, Hunt, McVey, Badenoch et al have hung on - it will be great to see them on the Opposition benches, and in a few days time they'll start knocking cobs out of each other in a leadership contest!

Oh, that's my dad's seat. He and my stepmum can share in my doom and glom. She HATES him.

Just woken to the news JRM gone. Good riddance 👋

I am so proud 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

My ex Labour MP won Hitchin. Is there a German word for how I feel about that?

Hitchin was Bim Afolami. So that's good

Schadenfreude.

I just checked more precisely. Ugh...

Waveney gone Green!!

You won't see Rishi for dust. He's cocked this up in every way possible.

No, that's the wrong way round. He isn't miserable and I'm not happy.

Aberdeenshire North gone from Tories to SNP.... is that Ross?

Yesssss! Douglas Ross has one less job!

Brilliant.

🎉🎉🎉

Ah, sorry.

Thank you for your company through the night. I'm off ro bed now for a few hours.

in NI , looks like DUP not doing well & Ian Paisley jnr predicted to lose (. A paisley apparently in that seat over 50 years)

grew up in the 80s in NI but I think I will see a United Ireland in my lifetime ( but that’s another thread)

Would scunnered be close enough? A state of disgusted irritation?

Just woken up to such good news. Am literally crying!

I couldn't be more delighted that Penny Mordaunt's lost her seat, after all her arrogance in the TV debates.

Jess Phillips being absolutely heckled. Twats.

Yes, that stabbing finger with repeated “Higher taxes” was quite something.

Horrific behaviour from the crowd in Birmingham and I love how angry Jess Phillips is.
