Be Excellent To Each Other

Gillian Keegan has apparently lost her seat

Nuneaton first seat I've seen where con+reform > lab, but lab win

Unfortunately Mark Francois first Tory MP

Darlington is the second

Mark Francois? Ugh. Alastair Campbell echoed my grunt.

Amusingly doing most of my messaging tonight with my mum, who's staying up for it. She's Green / Lab. Just knocking back the wines with my friend Joni while watching.

English pinot noir, superb. Lyme Bay Martin's Lane. Real earthy terroir, deep cherries, pleasing minerality. British red wine has arrived. Shortly to begin the 2016 Bordeaux Pomerol.

Glad to hear Libs took Harrogate, and Lab Stroud, very Tory places.

Cons have 2 - Castle Point, not sure who that is, Sky's not saying

Swindon North = 3

Lib Dems win a 2nd

Telford from Con to Lab by 24%! Bloody hell!

Cons hold Broxbourne, takes them to 3

Lee Anderson who defected to Reform from Tories is elected

Cannock chase = 4th with a 40% drop in conservative vote! 40%

Galloway lost his seat and ran away

My eyes were starting to get heavy before that

That almost makes up for Anderson winning

Labour beat SNP in Kilmarnock

Ed Davey holds his seat

As does Angela Rayner ( but a less than 50% turn out)

The North is going to need HEAVY investment and not just words, for once.

I have a theory that a load of Tories cannot bring themselves to vote Tory any more, but neither want to vote anyone else, so they've stayed at home.

That's let the vote bleed across to Reform, with Labour winning more seats despite not winning more votes.

Turnout seems to be down 8% so far, and Labour vote share is hovering around 0% increase or decrease from the last election

Grant Schnapps has gone!

Add in reform and he wins. oh well what a shame

IDS continues to irritate

Faiza being kicked out cost them that seat

And Labour lose Leicester for the same reason

Schapps somehow being not-useless for the first time in his life with his exit speech by emphasising Ukraine support must continue.

Corbyn beats Labour in Islington North!

Fucking Farage Finally Finegals Feckless Fools

Reform wins great Yarmouth

Michael Fabricant has gone

Jonathan Gullis has gone

Labour lost a shadow cabinet member (forgot his name)

Jonathan Ashworth

Confirmed

She only got half of the Lib Dems

Suella Braverman has kept her seat

Greens win in Bristol Central beating Thangham Debonaire

Unsurprisingly. He's a hell of a local MP. I also agree on a good bunch of his domestic policies, however his Ukraine and defence stance is a massive deal-breaker. Could never vote for him post 2020, though have voted for him in the past.

Glad to see Fabricant gone. That's something.

Wondering where the poor bastards who are centre-right will go. Lib-Dems, if they pivot?

Cons win Basildon by 20!

Richard Tice wins in Boston and Skegness

CHECK THE COUNT!

They did twice as far as I understand

Sure they did, just a comedy cry.

Andrea Jenkins has gone

Simon Clarke has lost

Greens have Suffolk, that's both co-leaders I think

Penny Mordaunt has gone

Jonny Mercer has lost Plymouth {good riddance}

Wow Greens won Big in Bristol

GRN: 56.6% (+30.6)
LAB: 32.6% (-25.9)
CON 4.6% (-9.7)
REF 3.1% (+1.9)
LD 2.7% (+2.7)

Actually, I think that's someone else, Adrian is standing elsewhere

My only grief regarding Mordaunt is that she was a Tory who would have fought a far-right drift in the Tory party. Uselessly probably, but would have tried.

I think SKy must have made an error and Greens haven't won 2 seats yet, as I can't see anything saying that anywhere

They've won Bristol, right?
