Jacob Rees-Mogg has gone.

Mouse Fri 05-Jul-24 05:02:13

My area has returned to Labour.

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

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 05:03:23

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

Pantglas2 Fri 05-Jul-24 05:04:32

Brewing as I type, Miss Adventure 🤗

Mouse Fri 05-Jul-24 05:04:33

Mogg has gone? Thank goodness for that.

MaizieD Fri 05-Jul-24 05:05:18

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😆

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

MaizieD Fri 05-Jul-24 05:05:54

Now I can go to 😴

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 05:06:09

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

Now I can go to 😴

I’ve had so many cups of coffee I think I’ll be awake for days…

Great speech from Keir.
He has come info his own, now.

Mouse Fri 05-Jul-24 05:12:38

It was a good speech, wasn’t it? That was worth staying up for.

Jacob Rees Mogg says getting rid of Boris is the reason for tories demise.

He still doesnt get it.

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 05:19:30

Wow, my constituency (Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) has just gone Lib Dem, it was the most likely Tory seat in Wales so it’s likely there will be a Tory wipeout here.

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!

Plaid have played a blinder, haven’t they, I bet there are lots of champagne glasses clinking!

He's unbelievable, that man!

fancythat Fri 05-Jul-24 05:32:02

I ought to correct that slightly.
It was one of the reasons he gave, now I have looked more.

But. Even so..

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 05:34:13

Yes, even so...

Ailidh Fri 05-Jul-24 05:39:04

Just got up to the news. In general terms, Huzzah!

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jul-24 05:45:30

Just found my constituency again, and the conservative MP stands, but she is pretty good, so it's a fair result.

I think reform were second, though.

Not so good.

Galaxy Fri 05-Jul-24 05:47:20

There is a sort of truth in that though I think. The Tories would have still lost but would have performed better under Johnson than Sunak.

Ashcombe Fri 05-Jul-24 05:49:22

Impressed by the all nighters on here! We're just awake in France where I’m happy to discover that my local constituency (Torbay) is back to being represented by a Lib Dem MP, after defecting to Tory about 10 years ago. DH and I are amazed and delighted by the Labour result.

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 05:51:42

Douglas Ross has gone, and Liam Fox.

Scotland is seeing some political landscape changing results.

What a boring voice Starmer has. Hope his policies are better than his presentation. Budgerigar.

Casdon Fri 05-Jul-24 05:55:20

Johnny Mercer also just lost his seat.
