    No way they take Barnsley. Also I'm predicting the tories to get less seats than the exits.

    Desperately hope you’re right, but I don’t think you are

    Clive Myrie has to be the most irritating person ever to appear on British television.

    Channel 4 talking about Barnsley and reading out the racist comments of the Reform candidate for Barnsley North. Well done all you ******* racist scumbags who voted for him. You’re a disgrace to the species never mind the town.

    Is there a view on what time we normally get a declaration for Barnsley?

    I made the schoolboy error of not getting any alcohol in. Although, if I had, I'd have probably ended up drinking all night and turning up to work pissed. And naked.

    I want to celebrate but it's tempered massively by how many votes reform are getting. Although I'm starting to think they might not get these 13 seats everyone is talking about, but just get very close in lots of constituencies without actually winning many.

    Have you seen the comments of the Reform candidate for Barnsley North?

    “Black people need to get off their lazy arsed and stop behaving like savages”

    I’m sorry but no. Anybody that voted for him is a racist and there’s no discussion about that. It’s brought national shame to our town already and it will be even worse if he ends up winning.

    I don’t see how there can be any debate whatsoever in Barnsley North. The candidate literally got kicked out of the party for abhorrent racist comments. They have voted for an out and out racist. Impossible to dress it up any other way. His overt racism has been endorsed.

    I’ve thought they will win or come close here ever since Farage got stuff chucked at him on the bus. Most of the electorate see the guy who did it as a leftist which = Labour to them.

    Pretty gutted tbh, if nothing else they’re divisive and will lead to negative media attention to our town with the wider Labour landslide win.

    To put it in perspective, Labour will walk it in my constituency (Rawmarsh and Conisbrough). The exit poll is saying 93% Labour hold. If they’re saying 98/99%, it’s nailed on.

    I’ve always defended the town to friends and colleagues from elsewhere. Talk about egg on face eh?

    My crumb of comfort is I got my family out of that area.
