Sky - exit poll by constituency


Truss - 84% likely to keep seat - sorry @Zeberdi
Pavilion - 99% likely Green
Shoreham / Adur / Worthing - 99% likely Labour gain (blimey)
And 99% Lib Dem for me.
133 seats 'Too Close To Call" - so still quite a good chance that tactical voting may swing quite a few seats yet.

They keep talking about how Labour have won this without letting anyobe know what they are going to do.

Surely this is a case of the Tories losing the election rather than Labour winning it?

The Guardian suggested the major Reform targets other than the ones above are:

Great Yarmouth (Rupert Lowe- the ex Southampton chairman!)
NW Leicestershire
Skipton & Ripon (Yorkshire)
Castle Point (Essex)
Louth & Horncastle (Lincs)
Basildon & Billericay (Essex)

Other articles suggest Thurrock (Essex), East Thanet (north Kent), Rochester & Stroud (Kent), Rother Valley (Rotherham), Stoke on Trent North, Tipton & Wednesbury (W.Mids), Stoke on Trent Central and West Bromwich.

The one thing all of these have in common, of course, is that they are places where you wouldn't want to live in a million years.
I went to college for two years in Castle Point...

Best achievement in that time was clocking the Asteroids machine

As predicted, Conservatives expected to win my Hamble Valley constituency. So depressing.

Other than that though, looking like a good night! Pringles, Haribo and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on the go!
Tory candidate was the Eastleigh MP but moved across the new boundary rather than getting booted out - seems Eastleigh has gone to Lib Dems

My constituency, Mid Sussex, predicted to go Lib Dem. Never thought I would see the day it wasn't blue.
Same. If- IF!- it happens, it would feel quite seismic, wouldn't it?

What on Earth prompted Baker to go on the BBC tonight?

Lamb to the slaughter.

Politicians by their very nature love the limelight and think they can influence. Similarly Sturgeon’s on ITV on their worst night for a generation or more.

They don’t go away quietly. Unless they’re go on to make $100m in Silicon Valley.

That’s what I’m am trying to find out.

I’m home now and decided not to go to the Count as I was too tired so can’t offer much. I haven’t heard from Terry for a few hours (he’s busy with media etc).

The BBC hasn’t updated it’s “live” coverage for hours

Try Sky news. About half way down
