Reform currently have a higher vote share than the Tories in Wales. Grim.
But Mogg is out. Nice pick me up at 5am.
Foregone conclusion now, right? Tories out. Bravo!
James Cleverly- As gracious as a wart.
Liz Truss seems to be lost in the sports hall, which is peak Liz Truss.
…And then sidled in like the psycho she is
By 630 votes
Even if I have my doubts about politicians, I sincerely hope the UK has a better go of things now. #prayfortheUK
Wow Truss has lost here! Sadly reform got more votes than lib dem but she’s managed to lose one of the safest historical Tory seats
That Michael Fabricant Kumi Baldcock kept her seat here
Everything about that was the funniest bit of the whole night.
She clearly had to be cattle prodded onto the stage and when she did she stood like a sort of vaguely reanimated doll.
A nutter that 11 thousand people voted for.
But funnily enough Michael Fabricant himself lost tonight. We need a new byword for Michael Fabricant.
Mad that you stayed up to watch all that. Cannot believe how large a majority she has lost. Bet there’s gonna be a lot of grumbling round here at being Labour now
I woke up randomly at 3am and mainly stayed on BBC Wales because I needed to know what happened in Monmouthshire.
I think it was delayed because it was close so wasn’t announced until 5.30am or something so thought I may as well stay up then.
So much happens so quickly you can’t really keep up with it in real time.
I needed to experience the feeling of the Tories losing power I think.
If you want a good time listen to the absolute nutters ringing Nick Ferrari on LBC this morning.
Now including king nutter Steve Baker. Holy shit he’s insane.
I think I can now finally stop drinking.
yeah some of these calls were quite disconcerting for what the next election is going to look like.
I have no maths to back this up but a lot of people are shitting their pants that Labours vote share is down from other years.
Seeing as the Lib Dems have taken 63 more seats from last time isn’t that just crystal clear tactical voting accounting for those missing votes?
