Thread 55: Sunak gives up

[BIossomtoes]

New election thread.

YAYYYYYY

Truss has lost!!!!

Truss GOOOONNNNEEEEEEE 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

OH MY GOD! Truss out.

So very close, my bum cheeks were squeaking

So happy, another one on the bingo card

Does Not So Cleverly have a new party that has purple rosettes?

Truss gone

Purple????

Ffs, that was painful. What a brilliant result.

Excellent, that almost makes up for my bit staying blue.

Same.

600 votes in it.

Who brought back twat face Dorries 😒

Well deserved loss for Truss. Very bad form to keep them all waiting. Good riddance.

Put like that it sounds close but she lost nearly 26k votes since 2019.

Our county has gone from all blue to a mix of red and orange.

Even more bad form that she hasn't done a leaving speech.

I'm seeing a lot of normally true blue areas losing but reform bites being very high.

That's actually quite terrifying for the future. If any more Tory's deflect they could have the largest majority in these areas in 4/5 years time 😳

Truss and Jenkyns gone has put a spring in my step. Truss should have given a speech.

Dorries adds very little- still banging the Boris drum.

Steve Baker out too

Their share of the vote so far according to the BBC website, was 34%, their share of seats 65%. It’s not quite the resounding endorsement it may seem. A lot of votes have gone to Reform, as well as the LDs and others.

Yay !!! That miserable mad iceberg lettuce has gone. It's rotten. Binned.

Baker free to high speed catamaran.

What on earth made C4 invite Dorries? What a waste of a chair.

Steve Baker out. More time for fast catamaraning😊😊

Hopefully by the next GE the political landscape will be more settled and there will be fewer disgruntled protest voters.
