Westminster General Election 2024

That's quite a big vote for Reform in the first result in Sunderland. Labour candidate got 18k and Reform got 11k.

I hope those Lockhart rumours are true but I'd be very surprised if it was.

Labour hold in Sunderland not the news. Nearly 12k for Reform is scary.

Reforms support going to be well well beyond the 13 or so seats they get.
FPTP hides alot of their support.

Now Gregory Campbell rumoured to be under pressure.

Where is everybody seeing these rumours? BBC playing it all down

Allison Morris was on RTE about Lockhart and I seen an Irish News journalist tweeting about Gregory Campbell. Probably all bollox.

SF candidate says she's confident she can win. Still not a single box at the count centre though!!

And again in the 2nd result in. They are going to get a fairly big % of the vote.

Paul Givan struggling in South Antrim.
Robin Swann outpolling him 2 and 3 to 1 in some areas.

IF the DUP are in trouble in South Antrim they are going to really really struggle in Lagan Valley, East Belfast and dare I say... Upper Bann.

Reform predicted to have taken a seat of Labour in Barnsley... Some going to take a seat from Labour

The Reform candidate actually looked shocked too when they read out 10,000 votes.

Sunderland not surprising considering they famously voted for Brexit despite the threat of Nissan pulling out of the area.

Lagan Valley looking very likely Alliance according to BBC.

Owen Jones really bemoaning how this has played out, having spent the last 5 years crying over Corbyn and shitting all over anything remotely connected to Labour.

The left/right political spectrum is as good as dead, or at least should be. First off, as frequently evidenced by posters on this forum, it's largely misunderstood. Secondly, the likes of Jones, Corbyn, Galloway, McDonnell etc would have a huge amount in common with the likes of Farage. Brexit, Russia, China, Ukraine, NATO, protectionism etc. Farage just doesn't like brown people.

Up north maybe, but less so as the counts head southwards.

But Easton likely to win North Down.
