Lab hold Hartlepool
Another Reform target missed, from the exit poll.

Labour failed to take Broxbourne, which the exit poll had as a gain. But even Survation had it as a Con hold |

Lee Anderson (Reform) gains Ashfield from Con Not really unexpected. Ashfield is the kind of seat you would expect Reform to either win or only marginally lose. |

Tory vote in Cannock Chase falls 40% (!) Lab gain
26% swing Con -> Lab. That would be a monster for a midterm by-election.

Reform handing scores of seats to Labour. This is compelling viewing.

Is that a real Con-Lab swing or more a Con-Reform one? |

Watching all channels it's chat chat chat. Not nearly enough info about effing results. Far more interest in the Tories, Reform, etc than in Labour's brilliant tactics in Tory territory.
All channels seem anti-Labour or grudging in their evaluation of their strategy.

O Scottish results yet - first was projected to be 1am. Pete Wishary SNP “fairly confident “ in Perth which. Was 99% certain to be a COn gain according to the exit poll
Suggests there may be some local differences though the central belt SNP seats look likely to go Labour

Unfortunately Labour haven't won every seat, and in many their percentage has decreased, which is a terrible result for all involved. |

RAF - "Reform handing scores of seats to Labour. This is compelling viewing." That's it in a nutshell. This isn't a hugely brilliant performance from Labour in vote terms, although to be fair, it's a huge credit to those who ran Labour's campaign. They put resource into the right seats, I suspect they read the threat from reform correctly, norbold was grumpy about being shunted to Colchester, but it worked. Labour have been brilliantly organised and disciplined, have smashed through dozens of Con & likely SNP seats, but it's a story of vote efficiency, not a huge uplift in support.

Lab win Kilmarnock. Exit poll had that 77% SNP.
Will be worries in SNP ranks.

Tory vote down 20%. I wonder if there was some Tory anti-Galloway tactical voting. |

Kilmarnock and London to Labour - a good win for Lab - was predicted for Lab but a big margin and the Con vote collapsed = tactical voting in operation

norbold was grumpy about being shunted to Colchester, but it worked. Not really because nobody went. Which shows they won Colchester without us and they could have left Jovan in Clacton to fight Farage. |

Some of the swings Lab/Con in the South and Midlands are huge, have not seen any analysis as to whether this is in line with the Exit poll, looks like reform will only pick up a few seats.

norbold - "Not really because nobody went." Lovely. Shows how much I know. I retract. Labour high command are duffers who get everything wrong.

The vibe I'm getting off the telly anchors such as Myrie and Kuennesberg is that the is very much an underwhelming pyrrhic victory.
