Anyone else feel a sense of impending doom that we’ll have a Labour government tomorrow?

I’m beginning to panic - 😳 worried it isn’t going to happen☹️☹️

Let's see shall we.

So if Peter Hitchins has changed, why couldn't Starmer?

I thought that it isn’t very well mannered to talk about your personal finances.

Something we never do.

My Mum would have said it's common to talk about money and boast about how much you've earned.

I know what you mean. I’m waiting for 10 pm and the first exit polls. I may have a glass of something alcoholic to calm my nerves and another one later if it all pans out!

Well, it would challenge "gob on a stick".

Now why get the second hand version of the horrors in store when you can hear it for real as Michael Green channels Allister Heath of the Daily Telegraph.
(yes, he's reading it word for word...)

And mine.

Never ever boast or even talk about your finances, because you may be talking to someone not so well off and that was a very bad thing to do.

I feel the same. I’m the same with everything - I avoid like the plague anything that I feel is ostentatious, or name dropping etc. No one needs to know about how wealthy I am or not.

I rely on my posh accent to make people think I'm wealthy!

Just watched the Alister Heath U tube reading.

Heath is seriously off his trolley.

I really would not worry Whitewave it's pretty much a done deal if Labour don't win this election they never will.
Never voted Labour in my life but wish them well think they have quite a uphill climb.

Hmmm! Some people might think you're a bit of a yokel. I trust you dress professionally and never use words like "scum" or "gob".

Oh WW I’m the same. Just can’t wait for the polls to close and we get the exit polls - but even they can be wrong!

Our Labour hearts have been broken so many times…

Dear God …

I feel similar. I'm fairly confident, but I won't be cracking open the champagne (alcohol free, unfortunately) until it's a done deal. I well remember the Kinnock debacle.

Not reading at all, listening. Just because you close your ears to all but Starmer. Let's see shall we .

I've become increasingly despairing over the last 14 years of chaotic and corrupt Conservative rule. Nothing can be as dreadful as these last 14 years.

I do have some sympathy for Sunak. He is being blamed for his party's disastrous result but the real culprits were Johnson and Truss.

I also have sympathy for the Labour Party which has been left with this absolute mess to clear up.

Yes, Sunak is being blamed for more than fair share.

"I've become increasingly despairing over the last 14 years of chaotic and corrupt Conservative rule. Nothing can be as dreadful as these last 14 years." And the way they've run the elections was to try and increase the despair/hopelessness, few positives.

Well done Labour. Best of luck.

Nice to see Nigel Farage finally becoming an MP though. MP’s question time will certainly be interesting! 😄

Yes, they are. Plus Cameron for calling the referendum although it was on Labour's manifesto too years ago, I think.
I think Sunak is basically a decent man but perhaps not suited to being PM.

Here the popular local LD candidate overturned a 22000 Tory majority, well done.

Nationally I’m surprised the increase in vote to Labour was so low, only a 1 or 2% swing. It’s the headbangers who voted Reform that sunk the Tory vote, it’s scary that the Tories are not hard line enough for them.

SNP who campaigned on an independant Scottish Nation totally rejected, so that settles that issue for a while.

Independence was only one of the issues SNP campaigned on, along with opposing spending cuts, increasing NHS funding, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, and rejoining the EU.
At the last election they gained many votes from people who wanted Tories out, and SNP were the best alternative, so when the polls were all in Labour’s favour they could all return to them. I am disappointed in just how much of a massacre it was, but I didn’t really expect anything else, especially after their financial problems, which were well reported.

I don’t though Freya, I’m not blind to his faults. I do know though that only somebody who hadn’t paid any attention to what he has done to transform the Labour Party, and how many on the left he has alienated (witness the number of independent former Labour candidates being elected) could possibly suggest something as off beam as you did.
