    Absolutely nailed on, that Farridge will go after this next. Looking like around 2% of the seats for what might be around 25% of the votes

    Reform look like finishing second in an awful lot of places. Well in to the three figures.

    There’s a chance Starmer will have a lower share of the vote than Corbyn did in 2017 but get a 170 majority

    Lapping up prospect of going to work and giving Laura and her gangster rapper, geezer boyfriend more money to bring up my son when neither of them work.

    Can't wait for the next Labour government.

    Did Corbyn indulge in too much preaching to the converted rather than targeting marginal seats to gain?

    It looks like Reform could get over 20% of the popular vote and get about 2% of seats. As i said the other week, i'm expecting a lot of former PR enthusiasts to fall quiet....

    Looking at the number of votes they’re getting in the north east it looks likely

    Me too. Sorry for spitting dummy out. Just a Labour government will marginalise me.

    The fact a party can get 20% of the vote, despite they don't agree with my political leaning and get sod all in houses, is bang out of orders

    Well, that’s an interesting subject.

    People who were working against him within the party devoted resources into keeping existing seats that belonged to MP’s in their faction rather than the marginals that the leadership wanted them to target.

    Sounds like his Islington seat will be very close. We’ll see..

    Unfortunately for those pushing for PR it's in the gift of the Government. If the exit polls are correct and Labour are on for a 170 seat majority it won't be heading our way any time soon. I've long despaired at First Past The Post when we've had Tory governments with majorities out of all proportion to their vote share so I have lots of sympathy with the push for PR.

    Looking like the trend is reform getting big vote share in Tory heartlands but much less in Labour/lib dem areas. They were well below the polling and exit poll predictions in Barnsley South

    That's probably right, but doesn't take into account the change that votes have basically been shared out across four parties v two in 2017.

    Guwon Jez! The one red seat I’m happy has gone elsewhere.

    Seems like Penny Mordaunt might have gone.

    West Streeting held on to his seat by just 500 votes. I'd have paid good money to see his face had he lost.

    Farage will run for Tory Leader and win. Nailed on in my view.
