Very much this. Despite the massive labour majority it feels a little anti climactic somehow. That may be because my gf fell asleep on the sofa and the cat was playing outside. Hoping to catch up on all the portilllo moments in the morning though. That’ll be a wonderful thing to wake up to.
Also the C4 coverage felt like just another 24hr news piece with lots of sniping. Don’t think the exit poll result has really sunk in yet for me and so heading to bed and looking forward to the detail and actual results and reaction in the morning.

Is it because the Labour leader is Keir Starmer and people like Wes Streeting might end up in the Cabinet?

Definitely sets the tone! Saying that, have a few people watching at home and we’re all interested but not ecstatic. Not sure the next 5 years is going to be all that settled or rejuvenating for the country.
Agreed, looking forward to some tasty unseatings tomorrow morning.

Reform predicted 13 seats a bit concerning - could be some serious support there. UKIP managed 1 MP in 2015 but had 12.6% of the vote share.
Feels less like an electorate voting in Labour, and more like people melting away from the Conservatives.
