Thread 55: Sunak gives up

[BIossomtoes]

New election thread.

Mark Harper is the 9th Cabinet Minister to go.

So I've managed to find out Braverman held her seat by approx 6k votes.

It's being sold as a way out.

Just checked 2019. She won by 24k seats.

So not the result I wanted but a massive drop to her previous majority!

We've gone Lib Dem. Bye Invisible Mann.

Not Gillian Keegan! But she works so hard and never gets any thanks for it!

Hadn’t realised George Galloway had lost his new seat, must have been asleep. Absolutely delighted, he’s an odious creature.

I was just liking to see what happened with Braverman.

Patel won - will give Braverman a run for her money over leadership.

I presume Labour fielded a good candidate to lure people away from Gorgeous George?

Also Grant Shapps.

I can't think of any more. Good memory you have.

Looking not liking!

Priti Patel has held on.

Good god.

Just waiting for Liz Truss

Priti Patel gives me the rage!

Neil Kinnock was completely frank about his opinion of Galloway, too. Very enjoyable.

With the tories gone I feel the same relief as when my extremely abusive ex husband (he once almost strangled me) finally left me alone. The public has had to witness and experience the stranglehold of an increasingly corrupt, smug, arrogant government full of people who have demonstrated cruelty and contempt towards ordinary people - not to mention the racists. And in my lifetime the phenomenon of people of colour who are able to express more harmful racism than their white counterparts. I am looking forward to seeing that shower taking their places on the back benches and to seeing that some of them won’t be there at all due to having lost their seats - especially Jacob Rees Mogg.

Hywl fawr Tories!! Wales is Tory Free 😁

JRM is a vile vile human being . To quote Ange.... scum.

Ange Raynor (sic), Deputy PM.

Blimey. Can we ask where?

Delighted Theresa Villiers is out. She was an awful Secretary of State for NI.

Oh, Truss to declare soon. Liz not in the hall!

Yes, I enjoyed that. I missed Jess's count result but it sounds horrific.

I have been a long time lurker on your threads.

I live on the other side of Bim Afolami’s ex constituency and we got the Lib Dem candidate. I mean if the Tories couldn’t win Harpenden and Berkhamstead they had no chance of winning the election.

Strong indication truss has lost on bbc

Hitchin are the winners. They have an excellent MP now.

Announcement incoming!

Wheeeeeere's Lizzie??????!
