2024 General Election Thread

It gets light pretty early

 

[Sniffer]

Boooo. Sutton Coldfield and Bromsgrove stay blue.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Beeb forecast changes again - now Labour 410, Conservatives 144

Still think that Conservative number is way high

 

[Sniffer]

Labour gain Wolverhampton west

 

[Del Woppio]

On vote share so far tories predicted to get 144
On seat share* so far it'll be under 100

*I may have made up a metric but just extrapolated from their current 54/383

 

[Walshes Wolves]

Wanker I mean Newark remains conservative

Very good for this time of the morning.

Honest Bob is a wanker though.

The Del Woppio Seat Share System has Labour finishing on 486

Wes Streeting sneaks home by 500 votes.

Labour losing votes over Gaza was definitely a calculated decision, and to be fair, those lost votes won't be voting Reform or Tory in 5 years time.

But I don't think Labour would've lost seats if they'd have been firmer, earlier. May have been bigger consequences behind the scenes of course, but I don't think it would've damaged public opinion (certainly not by the 15% it's cost them now)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bye bye Donelan. It's been real

 

[jlo]

Think Hunt has won his seat...

 

[darlowolf64]

Jeremy Hunt (with a silent C) has clung on

 

[Del Woppio]

Say what you want about politics, but a count bin face and a ventriloquist on stage with rish is just amazing

Hunt just survives

 

[darlowolf64]

Sunak survives the cunt

 

[Sniffer]

35 needed.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So he is stuck in opposition for 5 years unless he resigns and causes a by-election. No California sunshine just for now

 

[Del Woppio]

And the way the returning officer had to congratulate Rishi while he looked broken is just beautiful

 

[Sniffer]

33 needed

Sunsk concedes defeat
