Apparently labour got all that with just 36% of the vote!

And lib Dems got that big gain of seats on same vote share as last time.

Long live FPTP.

They're saying the exit polls in Scotland are less accurate - but clearly it's as bad for them as for the tories.

Dunno, he just disappeared one day

Turnout down 6% in sunderland south and a troubling amount of reform votes (albeit that kind of seat).

Reform 2nd in Sunderland 

[steviewevie]

Labour slightly underperformed estimation in Sunderland, Reform over performed. 

The story will not just be about Labour's massive landslide...but the rise of Reform.

[Alvoram]

Yep, as I said earlier, the number of reform voters going public with their choice locally up here in the last week, and especially today, is insane... 

Also, 51% turnout is very low nationally, is that low for Sunderland or par? Edit: Sorry, didn't see @mattiloy's post...

I said last week I was worried about how young boys are attracted to reform. My 14 year old daughter today told me all the boys in school want Farage to win. The left need to come up with solutions, ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.

I dont think the models are able to handle the local variance in this election. A night of shocks ahead. But not for me. Enjoy! Goodnight!

It does amuse me when conservative politicians are asked to define woke none of them ever can.

I’m not talking about embracing, I’m talking about finding solutions.

That's interesting, what area of the country are you? 

Around here it's all the 'old boys' that are very pro reform, most of the youngsters I know are very anti Farage, and see him and his supporters as fascist dinosaurs.

Rushcliffe, about as middle class as you can get in Nottinghamshire. Reform doing well on TikTok apparently.

And extremely close to me too 😉 

We're borderline Amber Valley / Erewash... Lots of older conservative voters seem to have switched to Reform here. All of the younger voters I know, in hopes of removing the tories, and just removing the tories, have voted Labour. 

[lazyred]

Back from the pub. Get In!! I didn't think the reform vote would translate into seats but otherwise great

[Punksnotdead]

Early reflection - horrible racist c**ts who voted Brexit are still horrible racist c**ts voting Reform. 

[Punksnotdead]

Buckland gone - well done Swindon!

[Kurosagi]

...and again around a 6-7% reduction in voter turnout, if that turns out to represent the national average it's very low - 2019 was 67% and the lowest in the last 100 years was 59% in 2001.

[Kurosagi]

Current rumours are that Galloway looks likely to lose. Corbyn on the other hand looking to squeak it by around 1500 votes.
