There will always be an England, but maybe not a UK.

No word on if she's losing to a head of lettuce this time...

Thank you.

Sky does have some very pretty tech, though. Blown away by their chart mapping the loss of conservative support by prior level of conservative support. The farther Right the seat, the more the Tories have crashed out. It's wild. And it's not just Reform -- it's happening even where reform did not run.

 

[Kepler]

Wow, Novara is so good. It is definitely not for the derps. Great find, thank you!!!

 

[Kepler]

I love the Sky hex map of England. We need to do that here.

Seven cabinet ministers have lost and Jeremy Hunt is running neck and neck. If he loses it would be historic on two fronts: an eighth secretary to lose tonight and the first sitting Chancellor of the Exchequer to lose.

 

[Kepler]

Oh, and Labour is increasing its vote share over 2019. So much for that Righty talking point. But my god, Conservatives have lost 20 points off their vote share. Not 20 percent. 20 absolute points. From 37% to 17%. That is 46% of their support.

Half their f-cking voters defected or stayed home.

When Starmer takes over, Labour will name the first woman Chancellor of the Exchequer in English history. The office has existed since 1221. 803 years.

Here comes Sunak's count.

C'mon Count Binface!

Sunak's comments. At least he's out of the rain.

Hunt held. Little f-cker.

Hunt wins by 800 votes. He won by 11000 in 2019.

 

[Kepler]

Jesus f-ck, the Tories still only have 56 seats. Less than half the seats to go.

 

[Kepler]

Greens are way up over 2019. How'd that happen? Left voters feeling free to vote aspirationally?

 

[ticapnews]

Through 428 seats, the Tories have only won 63.

Michelle Donelan is the eighth cabinet secretary to lose.

Bond villain Jacob Rees-Mogg may have lost his seat. I can't find a vote, but Google search identifies him as a former member of Parliament

Novara said not called yet. They just left the air. They were so good!

The seat was just called. He lost. Hah!

And with that, Labour clinches a majority in Parliament.

I have been watching NM for years. I've chatted on Twitter and Twitch with Michael Walker and Ash Sarkar. They are brilliant. They broadcast a live show weekdays at 1pm Eastern time.
