Which channel are we all watching? I'm clicking through but lingering on Sky and GBNews.

ITV and Channel 4.

I’m watching BBC at the moment. I started off with Channel 4 but as soon as they started arguing I switched over. I’ll probably go back.

I'm off to take the dog out and then up to bed. I'll be following on my ipad., you lot and X 😆

I tried streaming Ch4 but Nadine Dorries & Ann Widdicome too much to take😱

I’m told that if Reform do have 13 seats, they will have to have a Whip. God help that person.

Watching BBC Scotland. Not looking good for SNP. I may switch over later on to Sky News as Nicola Sturgeon is on their panel. She has been very low profile recently and hasn't been attending the Scottish Parliament.

I’m watching with my two grandsons aged 17 and 15 - looks like they WON’T have to do bloody National Service👏👏👏

We don’t need to watch! It has been obvious what the result will be!

RosiesMaw Thu 04-Jul-24 23:07:40

So I wonder where the memo to wear pink jackets originated?
Fiona Bruce, Laura Kuenssberg, Nadine Dorries, Harriet Harman, Daisy Cooper….?
All we need now is Michael Portillo!

I’d planned to watch the exit polls, go to bed and switch back on about 3 am . I’m not feeling like switching the tv off - it’s exciting

Get the matchsticks ready Iam to prop your eyelids open. And don’t drink any wine, it’ll knock you out.

Sunderland....reform!

Mamardoit Thu 04-Jul-24 23:17:39

The Labour win was expected. But the number for reform. Is that high?

rafichagran Thu 04-Jul-24 23:18:12

Reform up 13. 4 Conservative down 19.2. The reform result is worrying.

I’m watching Ch 4 but flicking around a bit, because Nadine Norris is driving me mad.

... because Nadine Norris is driving me mad.

🤣🤣

The Sunderland result is worrying. I'm pleased that Labour won, but Reform as second place is scary.

I'm on Ch4 in bed. Is this the thread for the hardcore watchers? grin

merlotgran Thu 04-Jul-24 23:27:12

I’m not sure how much longer I’ll last! 😂

I think so!

Doodledog Thu 04-Jul-24 23:33:20

I'm just getting started. I can't be awake all night, but I have an hour or two in me I think grin Keep going, merlotgran? I can offer you a glass of wine and a meringue?

Mamardoit Thu 04-Jul-24 23:33:59

Blyth and ashington...Reform second again.

merlotgran Thu 04-Jul-24 23:34:27

Bloody Hell! Reform in Blyth in second place.

Doodledog Thu 04-Jul-24 23:35:24

Oh, here's Blyth and Ashington. They are a new constituency now, but Conservatives took Blyth last time and Lavery had a low majority in Wansbeck. Labour is in. Two out of two so far, but neither constituency is particularly representative, I don't think. Reform is in second place again.

keepingquiet Thu 04-Jul-24 23:35:55

Reform, protest vote

Mouse Thu 04-Jul-24 23:36:16

The numbers voting reform are worrying.

MaizieD Thu 04-Jul-24 23:37:59

Sunderland and Blyth. I'm not at all surprised. It's echoing the Brexit vote. NE still hasn't had any benefit, still 'left behind'.

Wyllow3 Thu 04-Jul-24 23:38:21

Predicted, but Reform....I know, not good.
