Tonight’s results

Ooh lovely, Pantglas.
I wanted a cuppa about 5 hours ago and still havent had one.

Now I can go to 😴

Oh that was worth staying up for! Best Portillo moment ever!

Diane Abbot has been returned for Hackney. I'm glad about that, she was shabbily treated.
Will she become the Mother of the House, I wonder?

Delighted that Rees Mogg has gone😆

Mogg has gone? Thank goodness for that.

Brewing as I type, Miss Adventure 🤗

I'm really pleased to see the back of Mogg.
I don't feel sorry for him!

My area has returned to Labour.

In other news I’m glad to see the back of Therese Coffrey. Odious woman.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has gone.

The Rees-Mogg moment! He went seconds before Labour reached the 326 seats needed.

Mogg is out!!!

Good morning Pantglas
Have you got your chamber pot of tea?

Jeremy Hunt has hung on to his seat but he looks wrecked.

Rishi Sunak’s speech was dignified and statesmanlike - first time I’ve been impressed by him.

Scotland has gone back to Labour by the look of it.

Alliance party candidate has won in Lagan Valley (Northern Ireland). A hopeful sign.

I think I might have to give in and go to bed. Thanks to Whitewavemark for starting this thread and all contributors who I have been following with interest, in between keeping an eye on Twitter/X and The Guardian. I switched between BBC and C4 with a brief look in at ITV and GB News.

I'm no good at the cut and thrust of politics.
I end up feeling sorry for everyone.

Morning all…as expected our local Labour candidate has gained our seat with a healthy majority with the previous Tory mp being pipped into 3rd place by Plaid Cymru!

I said previously I’ve never won on election night and sure enough it’s happened again (did win at bingo though 😂) but I’m pleased that Plaid have gained another 2 seats, now 4 in total!

It probably has, MissA. It must feel like having a tooth out after the past few months.

Nicola looks worn out.
I think she is flagging a bit.

I imagine the last place she wants to be right now is on the telly.

It just occurred to me that he looked somewhat relieved,as if a weight had been lifted.

He was very gracious,I thought

MissAdventure

Sunak was very reasonable.

I thought so too.

How people can look so calm, when chaos reigns, is always beyond me.

Crossed post again! I also just saw Therese Coffey has gone

Nicola looks worn out.
I think she is flagging a bit.

Jeremy Hunt also clings on. He looks rough as.

Sunak was very reasonable.

Hunt holds. Maybe he’ll be next leader? The lesser of many evils. What will Sunak do now? He’s said he’d stay for the next 5 years. I bet he wishes he’d lost because then he could have just gone to America.
