sunderland result just declared. 51% turnout

Is that sunak?

Yeah on a local seat by seat case they are the opposition (almost like the lib Dems used to be a few elections ago)

Pretty much, sadly. Hiding away in his bunker atm.

Some pretty large uncertaintiesin in the exit poll

Exit poll seats by liklihood:

80%+ Lab 369
80%+ Con 80
80%+ LD 45
80%+ Reform 5
80%+ SNP 4
80%+ PC 3
80%+ Green 2

Too close to call 124 seats

There's going to be a lot of work in the next few years to try to undo all the culture war and anti-immigration bullshit.

Why am I not surprised that Nadine Dorris appears addicted to her phone?

Nobody has said Jeremy Cunt yet. Am disappoint...

(but the night is young)

Ah ta, I misunderstood the info. Ditto @HousecatHST and @Grumpy_Git.

Anyway, a much better tomorrow, yeah?

My goodness! Laura K giving Mogg a mildly tough time just now on the BBC! Is the lady for turning??

To be completely fair her only mistake is not bringing a laptop so you can't see her scrolling so obviosuly

I can hear some fireworks outside, which is a bit odd as our area in Leeds is pretty strong Labour.

Flynn could be the McPortillo..

She picks up a pen every now & then to pretend to write something & then back to the phone. I guess she is an author (of sorts).

No surprises here.

Hell, but seeing her being treated like a petulant toddler by the adults in the room is satisfying.

The size of the vote for the Nazis in the first two constituencies announced is horrifying.

It's not surprising though.. Mirrors the rest of the hollowed out bits of Europe. The price of neo liberal immigration and trade policies.

fml - a little briefcase wanker too

The last MRP poll before election day had Reigate as both Labour and the Tories on 36%, the exit poll says Labour likely to be 3rd? Weird.
