Reform on 13 too. Disgusting.

Labour landslide, but Tories not down to double figures, unfortunately. SNP destroyed. Well done Kier.

Me too but getting the exit poll from the beeb. No logic like.

Local drink place. Extractor fans all over again. As for Das Boot, I'll always remember this quip: "You're from Borussia Monchengladbach? Ahhh, yes, the place they throw away the baby and raise the after birth".

Spot on that. Danny Murphy over Francis Begbie.

The thing is about these right wing arseholes, when they achieve power in any capacity in normal functional democracies they tend to be found out. That's why I'm not really that worried about Farage or Le Pen. Trump is different though because he will destroy the democracy himself. I just hope the Democrats rescue this situation.

Aye, it was. I was hired by the deep state as a rubber outer but those pesky Brexiters foiled us.

I think Biden will be gone shortly, there will soon be a critical momentum against him. July might be a very good month for politics, especially if those Frenchies somehow get their act together.

This is why I am actually drinking for each seat they retain. I am expecting a sobre night.

78

Sounds like that pub in the Chatsworth estate in Shameless. What happens to a nice estate pub when that pub becomes a sink estate I guess. Much like the Seine Boat in Meadowell (aka Flying Barstool).

Anyway, done my duty. Very quiet but I suppose its work hours. A blast from the past. My taste in shirts hasn't changed.

Tbh the exit poll is usually incredibly accurate. I could go to bed then and wake up to the result +/- 5% of seats. The reason for staying up this time is pure for the numerous Portillo moments, I hope. In '97 I was up all night at a Labour party in the then Rex hotel in Whitley Bay iirc. Was fantastic watching these tory cunts getting wiped out in a drunken crowd. This time it's just me, the wife, and 'ole toontastic. 27 years, Jesus.

I'm a mere amateur at this game. This is dedication.

LBD again.

I'm so excited today. I caught my first glimpse of the new Class 555 metro system in service.

Heavy extrapolation there. Still think they are underestimating how many people want shot of this government and the polls showing the large majority found the "super majority" was a motivating factor. There will definitely be an issue with legitimacy about the result because of FPTP distortions, but if the boot were on the other foot..... They can suck Starmer's plums.

How the fuck can you just sleep like that? You DO have an OFF button at the back of your head, don't you?

That graph is truly a thing of beauty. Labour slaughtering the tories at every stage of the night. I plan to make it until 2am and then will probably flake out.

I guess turnout and the undecided are the unknown factors here. Purely my opinion, but I think turnout will be okay and I don't think that many people will be thinking last minute "another 5 years of this please". So I am hoping for the lower margin but as you said yesterday, anyhtingin that range is an amazing night considering where we were 3 years ago.

Yeah, I thought it was ambiguous too, the absolute whoppers they are. Think Poitics JOE released this at the start of the campaign, but seems even more apt now.

Haven't voted yet. Was going to go Labour but not so sure now with the prospect of rampant wokery and net zero mania?

I've got one of these printed.

2019 (notional) seems a bit of an outlier.
