Thread 55: Sunak gives up

[BIossomtoes]

New election thread.

I hadn’t realised how bad she’s had it during the campaign. Shocking that she couldn’t bring Jo Cox’s family because of the violence.

I didn’t expect that Jess Phillips would make me cry like this.’

Poor Jess. The heckling is awful and her speech about the aggression was amazing.

Liz Truss result coning up very very soon.......

Jess needs to be in parliament.

This is just now

Very safe Tory seat, Tewkesbury, gone LibDem.

🔵 BREAKING: The Tories have lost their deposit in Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross

Christ Corbyn is father of the house with Abbott being mother of the house!

Father of the house Jeremy Corbyn.
Mother of the house Diane Abbott

To be fair, I really like Jess but I think the heckling is reflective of the feelings of desertion of the people of Gaza. Jess always knew she might have to bear some of tat. Even though she personally has been very upstanding about it all. She is an excellent MP and will carry on working hard for all her constituents. The Labour party does need her voice.

Corbyn is widely accepted to be an excellent constituency MP , as is Abbott. The reasons they voted them in are not just about left wing politics.

Hahahahhahha.

Now that IS schadenfreude.

Woke up Tim time to see Labour win and Keirs speech.

Just got up for good now!

What a great day!

Well done for those who stayed the course all night!

No Mogg? No Gullis? Ohhhhh that feels so much better already. Watching Jess Philips. She deserves better as we all do. Time for 🙏 of thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to oust the sticky fingered chancers who have so poisoned our political experience. Particular thanks to everyone on this thread for not swallowing the Tory Kool Aid and keeping these threads going. Relief at last.

Laura K can no hide her contempt though at the win 😂

Just catching up with the news - relieved to see Jess Phillips kept her seat even with a narrow victory.

Thrilled to see Waveney is green.

Bloody hell, this is seismic.

I can't watch her.

Oh phew - healthy majority for Labour in Bedford. The Tories made sure they fielded an Asian Tory. Bedford was once the smallest Labour majority and Mohamad Yasin (lab) got 45% of the vote. Excellent. I may move half a mile down the road.

Morning! 🎉

Had a nap and missed the haunted pencil's goodbye.

Am I right that Plaid, and the Greens have four voices, which as I understand how these things work makes them the real opposition?

Have we STILL not had Truss, or did I miss it?

I actually hope Hunt is the next Tory leader.Doubt it though.

I think it’s really close.

Correction FOH. Is Edward Leigh.

I would like to point out that I still have a Tory MP too. Although, our neighbours are red, green and yellow.
