Sunak holds on with a good majority.

Wes Streeting has only just clung on.

Has he? Who was second?

I don’t know. Only 200 seats in it. As with Jonathan Ashworth the Muslim vote was against them because of Gaza and I assume they were up against independents.

It's certainly been interesting, this disparity amongst the votes.

Badenoch or Braverman to contest the Conservative Party leadership?Who else is there? Will Truss retain her seat when decent Conservative MP’s have lost their seat because of her?

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 04:20:43

Phew!
Can't take anything for granted tonight.

Mps are in and out like fiddlers elbows!

MayBee70 Fri 05-Jul-24 04:19:41

Are there any decent Conservatives left?

Which channel are you watching, MayBee?

I was watching the live results in The Guardian website. I couldn’t leave it because I was waiting for the Derbyshire results. Catherine and Samantha have both won for Labour. But horrified at the votes for Reform.

Thank goodness that the odious George Galloway is gone.

Mamie Fri 05-Jul-24 04:14:47

Lib Dems have taken Tunbridge Wells with around 9000 vote lead. 😮

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 04:14:37

I’m sorry she’s going, I fear there won’t be many moderates left in the Tory party.

Chocolatelovinggran Fri 05-Jul-24 04:14:01

Labour gain Thanet East: it's been a true blue seat for many years.

Penny Mordaunt's gone..

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 04:10:23

I was holding my breath waiting.

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 04:09:22

Penny Mordaunt has gone now

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 04:05:14

It’s a clump of controversy!

Doodledog Fri 05-Jul-24 04:00:44

Richard Tice 😩

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 03:56:37

Yes, it is.
I've been surprised at the different results.

Doodledog Fri 05-Jul-24 03:56:14

Oh. Badenoch and Braverman both still in the game. Here’s Basildon.

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 03:53:17

Suella Braverman is back in. It’s 15 minutes of extremes at the moment.

Doodledog Fri 05-Jul-24 03:50:57

I’m back after a couple of hours’ sleep.

I saw the Corbyn and Farage wins, and await Rees Mogg’s fate with interest. I am blearily looking at the ticker to try to get a picture of the state of play, but clearly lots has happened while I was asleep.

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 03:31:48

Corbyn and Farage both in, one after the other - funny that.

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 03:05:48

My area showed conservatives on that board.
I'm getting confused.

Starmer's speech was great.
