And she's gone - 600 ish votes, down from 26k.
Reform has taken her out.

Liz Truss refused to arrive on stage.... evicted, labour gain

Truss gone! Brilliant!

I think the mehness of the outcome is partly because it was known all the way through that Labour were going to win.

Maybe it'll turn out to not be a bad thing - they'll know they're not especially loved, and might improve their standing if they do a good job.

I take it back. The shit-eating grins of the Tories when they lose has been pretty good.

She's not right wing mental enough for reform

Labour win because of a backlash by Conservative voters.

Labour will be in power with the lowest percentage of the popular vote ever by a single majority party.

Only one election since 1885 (2001) has had a lower turnout.

Labour in by default.

Still in though, which is a lot better than having the tories stay in.

FPtP is a dire voting system but we have it so you take the victory despite the margins
