Lab beat Galloway in Rochdale. Galloway refrains from joining the platform Gutless, divisive, opportunistic, wannabe pussy-cat. There's the door sonny. |

norbold - "Not really because nobody went." Lovely. Shows how much I know. I retract. Labour high command are duffers who get everything wrong.  Don't be so childishly ridiculous. I really expect better of you. |

Unfortunately Labour haven't won every seat, and in many their percentage has decreased, which is a terrible result for all involved. Yes, it's not the apparent landslide the numbers are telling us. The vibe I'm getting off the telly anchors such as Myrie and Kuennesberg is that the is very much an underwhelming pyrrhic victory. I feel glum ..........................................................  Unfortunately Kuennesberg is biased and Myrie is cardboard. Otherwise enjoying it |

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. I heard 8% from 2019? Can't remember where as I've been moving around the channels. |

Looks like Scotland is going Labour Kilmarnock went Labour on a 22% swing and was the third safest SNP seat. |

norbold - "Don't be so childishly ridiculous. I really expect better of you." Apologies. It was meant to be a joke at my own expense. I'm several beers into the crate, so it probably looked funnier in the writing than the reading. I think you're absolutely right - on principle, Labour should have thrown the kitchen sink at Farage, whatever the likely result. Some fights you just don't walk away from. (As indeed, you and your colleagues didn't).

Chelmsford my first real cheer of the night.
Survation was very wrong there - looks like tactical voting is what won it. Incredible though, just unbelievable.

soph - I expected to have an update on the seat projections by now. It seems likely Reform are over estimated on the exit poll, Cons too, with Lib Dems perhaps grabbing a few more. Oh - Grant Shaps up.....
