Paid Members FLips Posted July 5 Paid Members Share Posted July 5 (edited) Lib Dems got trounced here, coming last. Not a surprise really as like I said not long after I voted they were some random from Southport in a seat that Labour would predictably win with a strong candidate, and win they did. Like other working class areas, Reform weren't too far behind in second. One surprise result was Stockton West staying Tory. A few of the parts that make it up are the "posh" areas of Stockton like Yarm or places that were once thought of as posh but are actual shit holes like Ingleby Barwick. They didn't win by much, mind you. While I'm not thrilled by Keir Starmer, and certainly not by Nigel Farage, it is refreshing after 14 years to see a fairly mixed government starting to form. Whether you like the voices or not, it's somewhat empowering to know that so many of them will be heard now rather than it just being relentlessly Tory. Ed Davey, Daisy Cooper, Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsey all got/kept seats, and fair play to them. I'm happy to see both Green and Lib Dem do relatively well in this.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted July 5 Paid Members Share Posted July 5 What a beautiful result to wake up to. Our local Labour candidate romped home and surrounding constituencies in Stoke have also gone to Labour. The Lib Dems have done better than expected, especially given their manifesto was a little lacklustre (rejoining the SM & legal weed being the only 2 big stand outs). I know it's petty & a bit spiteful but seeing the worst people in politics bemoan the result today will make my coffee taste that little bit nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted July 5 Paid Members Share Posted July 5 (edited) Galloway lost. Birmingham Yardley had some rather unsavoury heckling during Jess Philips (Labour) victory speech. Reports suggest that the Yardley campaign suffered some horrible acts of lawlessness. Both Priti Patel and Stella Braverman held their seats. Corbyn and Duane Abbott held their seats. Edited July 5 by BigJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 8 hours ago, Max Power said: Barnsley North and South have figures of a 99% chance of a Reform gain. I'm embarrassed. Wow. The Exit Poll predicted 99% and 98% respectively in those two Wards. But they were both wrong. I stand corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 5 Paid Members Share Posted July 5 I usually stay out of discussion of politics because it’s quite frankly a stress I could do without. But… can’t believe the fuckwits are finally gone. It only took prostitution of our country’s economic future on the Brexit referendum for Cameron’s personal agenda, entrusting Brexit to a woman that had campaigned for Remain, believing we could avoid a global pandemic by washing our hands, Johnson telling us to abide by rules he didn’t follow, Liz Truss trying to make life easier for the rich in the depths of Cossy Livs in a reign briefer than David Unsworths piss break as a Villa player, and Sunak pulling a Jim Warrior on war veterans and likening himself to the poorest by bemoaning when his Sky was switched off like fucking Dynamite Kid. What a legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted July 5 Paid Members Share Posted July 5 The Exit Poll actually proved to be better than expected, with Labour being bang on, overestimating Reform and underestimating Lib Dems and Green. Would have liked to see more seats for Plaid Cymru but can't complain at all with the fact the Tories got completely wiped out of Wales.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 5 Paid Members Share Posted July 5 Basildon and Billericay went to 3 recounts with Richard Holden winning by 20 votes. Never have I felt every vote counts more than I do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
