General Election - 4th July 2024

[denislawsbackheel]

That exit poll is a tale of two half's.

Labour's majority is a fantastic result.

The reform prediction is very worrying. I assume many of them are going to be knife edge so we will have to see the results but any seats at all is really bad news. When was the last time we had openly racist MPs? Tories in the 70s?

This morning

Fuck off Tory K.

Full Tory apologist mode about the exit poll.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Sunderland South or Blyth?
Who will win the race?

Always been more Mackem than Geordie, so come on Sunlan...

Come on Labour. Win.

Fuck me Anne Widdicombe looks and sounds like she might die on the set of channel 4.

I mean come on, watching Hunt lose his seat would be exciting enough. That's just asking too much.

Alistair Campbell told her to get over Johnson, and she said it was a sexist comment, and then doubled down when she was told it really wasn't sexist.

Thanks - that's hilarious. I bet Campbell has been waiting for his chance at dissing her.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Are they metaphors?

No. Just the more likely venues

 

[law74]

Been doing that for the last 14 years.

Shush, they have kept it in house before, now they are ripping themselves apart in public

I mean come on, watching Hunt lose his seat would be exciting enough. That's just asking too much.

Was it 20% chance of winning that Hunt had?
I mean, it's Godalming!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Widdicombe has disappeared off set.

Alistair Campbell told her to get over Johnson, and she said it was a sexist comment, and then doubled down when she was told it really wasn't sexist.

Was disgraceful that she said that, can't argue for shit she keeps getting shown up.

If only the world was that fortunate.

 

[Gabriel]

Like the first cuckoo of spring, I keenly await the first Conservative to acknowledge that Brexit has damaged the party.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Has he mentioned City yet?

Not yet but he is serious with a sense of humour so definitely channelling his inner Cityness! :-)

 

[Bluemoon115]

For those that know far more than I (most of you I imagine), is this just a LOL or realistic?

 

[robbieh]

But if in 4, 8 years the Tories get themselves together, win back a load of seats, no majority government is elected, and the Tories need bedfellows?

A lot of the people who vote Reform tonight will go back to voting Tory in the scenario you mention.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Have you confiscated Liz Truss's gear?

Yes

 

[argyle]

I know one of the producers of C4's show tonight.

She knew what she was doing when she got Campbell and Doris as analysts.

 

[Don Karleone]

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Guaranteed that if Reform get 13 sears at least 7 will face pressure to resign due to past racist comments. Of course they won't resign.

It could mean the opposition becomes populist far right which is very worrying. They'll be fighting a 5 year woke war whilst Labour tries to rebuild society.

Tories will be rats in a sack. Like Labour circa Miliband / Corbyn era. But I suspect they will want to keep distant from Farage. All depends on the leader and level of support.

She looks.like she has already died and been dug up for the occasion.
