UK General Election 2024: The Results & Aftermath

[xtmw]

Good riddance Shapps...

 

[brad465]

Leicester East seems to have a history of criminal MPs, maybe Labour will get it back in a by-election if the new Tory MP follows the two previous Labour ones down the same path.

 

[Crithylum]

Corbyn wins, with a sizeable majority

And Farage wins it. Damn.

 

[Magdalia]

Two split votes seem to have given unlikely Conservative wins in Leicester East and Chingford and Woodford Green.

For those of you who read my poll analysis last weekend, these are the only constituencies so far that have gone against a unanimous polling prediction.

On a personal note, this is my 12th general election, and a few moments ago, for the first time I have a constituency MP that I actually voted for.

And Farage wins it. Damn.

And a speech which I dearly wish I could have switched off without switching off the election coverage. At least Galloway's gone.

I voted for the one who won here, but my vote was lended from the LD's.

C4 reporting that Reform has taken Gt Yarmouth.

 

[Purple Train]

Jonathan Ashworth has lost his seat at Leicester South, to independent Shockat Adam.

 

[GusB]

Gillian Keegan gone. Tragedy...

 

[Energy]

Gillian Keegan gone. Tragedy...

I hope someone remembers to tell her that's she did a [expletative] good job.

Nah. Just tell her to [expletive] off and don't let the door hit her arse on the way out.

 

[brad465]

Richard Holden scrapes through by 20 votes, he was the Tory parachuted into Basildon from Durham.

 

[GusB]

Tice has gained Boston & Skegness. Gawd, this is really starting to stink.

 

[DynamicSpirit]

Some stunning Labour gains flashing up. Isle of Wight West seems really surprising. I think I've also seen one of the Southend seats and one of the Thanet seats.

Both Southend seats!

 

[DynamicSpirit]

Both Southend seats!

Wow! Seems to me Labour are picking up a lot of seats in the London commuter area around Essex/Hertfordshire/the Home Counties.

 

[507021]

My seat has just declared for Labour. Excellent.

Coffey and Mordaunt are out. My Portillo moment has been achieved.

 

[GusB]

Voldemordaunt gone too. Bye, bye

 

[Urobach]

Penny Mordaunt the latest to fall

 

[Hadders]

Penny Mordaunt's out.

 

[brad465]

Mordaunt is gone.

When you live by the sword...

 

[Energy]

Nah. Just tell her to [expletive] off and don't let the door hit her arse on the way out.

She shall not be missed!

Mordaunt is gone.

When you live by the sword...

Live by the sword, die by an incompetent government?

 

[SuspectUsual]

Mordaunt, Coffey and Mercer all gone in under ten minutes.

Forget super Saturday at the 2012 olympics, I prefer fantastic Friday

 

[Purple Train]

Wow! Seems to me Labour are picking up a lot of seats in the London commuter area around Essex/Hertfordshire/the Home Counties.

Suffolk Coastal is a Labour gain. Part of me feels that something has gone slightly wrong if Labour can pick up Suffolk Coastal but lose Leicester South (for instance), but I'm not complaining!

Tice has gained Boston & Skegness. Gawd, this is really starting to stink.

Run down areas, mostly old white people living there. No real surprise Reform is doing well in those places TBH.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Andrea Jenkyns gone as well

Marvellous

 

[jamieintercity]

Andrew bridgen lost his seat to labour

 

[DynamicSpirit]

Labour have also kept their by-election win in Tamworth, and also taken neighbouring Lichfield (Michael Fabricant's seat)

 

[GusB]

Andrea Jenkyns gone as well

Marvellous

Andrew bridgen lost his seat to labour
