      I hope that it’s not just him. They can’t seem to get past Labour in red seats snd even fall behind the Conservatives where Labour have gained. I am always a pessimist though.

        Nigel is in! Phew! That is two but we could do with another. But as you are right to be pessimistic. I can’t see Reform getting into double figures as regarding seats. Overall though Reform are definitely going well if it intends to build up a base. I hope unlike Ukip it builds on it and does throw it all away,

    Very disappointed by the coverage – maudent and shapps and bottomley out – but couldn’t see their expressions – sadly Sunak and Hunt have stayed – but of course at last Mr Farage finally beat the system …

    Thangam debonaire – who was to be culture secretary – so bad she lost in a red landslide – so the evil Lucy Powell looks like being the new culture secretary ….

    And Rees mogg gone – good

    Watching the itv coverage – the SNP – with nichola watching on – is dead – Killed by incompetence and corruption – quite an achievement …..

    The Sunak speech – a sort of suicide note on behalf of the blues – was liked by the presence of mr bin man – who got over 300 votes …

    The starmer victory speech was dry – humourless – tedious – without grace – very red .
    BTW – rishi has had a great night and achieved his objective of destroying his party …..

    Be interesting to see the total votes for Reform v 4 or so seats .

    Great to see the big hitters Farage , Tice and Anderson in Parliament, may only be small in numbers but that’s some voice .

    This electoral system surely has to change , you simply cannot go on having millions upon millions of people voting for a party and getting minimal representation. It stinks .

    Having said that, Farage alone is going to be fun 🤩

      This was a fascinating result. I’ve followed your comments about this constituency and remember it from the Norman Tebbit days. It seemed to me inevitable that Labour would win it, with the “vibrant enrichment” increasing by the year, simply based on demographics.

      Here are the main results:

      Iain Duncan Smith (Con.) 17,281
      Shama Tatler (Lab.) 12,524
      Faiza Shaheen (Indep.) 12,445
      Paul Luggeri (Reform) 3,653
      [Two other candidates] ………

      Do I take it that the Indep. was a Muslim? And what of the Lab. one (maybe Muslim first name?) IDS should thank his lucky stars (and crescents!)

        Mustapha – the Indy was a labour contender who got thrown out of the party about 2 months ago ? Because of anti semitic internet comments …… she got close at the last election and was a far left Corbyn type Hamas friends Muslim. – a sure win …
        As you see – even after being de badged her far left operation raised a lot of muslim votes – but the Muslim labour vote split leaving IDS to keep his seat ( miracle – left footer et al) ….
        Living in the constituency he was the only one bombarding with leaflets .
        He got a lot of support because he stopped the communist council from building tower blocks in the nice bits of chingford – they wanted to import more lefty trash ….

        I thought all the tories in e4 would vote Reform – but then IDS is still a Tory –

        BTW – on tories – I saw I think David Davies lost his seat …

    Has Sunack resigned yet ?. I expect he will be gone before Monday and quietly disappear on a plane out once the fuss dies down.

    He will have his speech written already – though I doubt he will stomp off with his bottom lip stuck out like May and Cameron did. At least we are rid of Mr Smug.

    I can’t bring myself to read the BBC articles : you can be sure they will have a record number of them as well for this election.

    Now things will start to get ridiculous. And the BBC will – of course – cover it up.

    Enjoy it BBC : it will be a VERY different story next time (assuming the Tories have not completely sold out).

    I’m just so pleased that Reform have started the ball rolling. Four seats so far!

    While exit polls are up there with foreigners flogging the Beeg Issue, the postal votes – mainly from more senior people like me and The Senora, may well make a huge difference.

    We had the time to make balanced judgement, consider the alternatives, look at the monetary aspect, then finally just say, ‘Piss of Tories, you’ve blown it’. You don’t deserve any more time. You’ll just waste our money even more! You could have seen to Brexit, immigration, clipping the Beeboid wings and all manner of things that got you into parliament with a proper majority, and you’re going to suffer for this.

    At least we’ll all see Strummer and Crayons failing from the start – you took years to continue failing.

    Well, as expected, a Labour landslide…and all honour to those of you that stayed up all night and kept us informed…

    Gald to see Nigel, at long last, make the breakthrough, along with a few colleagues. On the other hand, it’s gutting that one of the few men of honour in parliament, Andrew Bridgen, didn’t get back in, while that useless are-wipe Ed Davey has smashed it. There really is no justice…

    But here’s the real choker…Reform pick up 15% of the vote and (thus far) have 4 seats…the Lie-Dems (misspelling deliberate) get 12% and have 70 seats, the Greens get7% and have 4 seats and the SNP get a measly 2%, but get 8 seats.

    Isn’t democracy wonderful…

    I don’t vote, but I do leaflet. I can’t beat myself up not going to drive for two hours to leaflet for Bridgen because he got trounced by the uni-parties. Leafleting would not have made the difference.

    The winning nuuuu liebour candidate is the very model of a Stepford wife.

    TOADY Watch #1 – we’re in dire straits now

    “Sky is crying, streets are full of tears,
    Rain come down, wash away my fears,
    Oh, I can read the writing on the wall.” (© Mark Knopfler)

    Writingsonthewall came to mind this morning. When I first started posting on the BBC’s Political Blog back when Nick Robinson (now a chief TOADY) was the BBC’s Political Editor, Writingsonthewall was a fellow poster on the BBC PolEd’s Blog. If I recall correctly he was a raving Socialist but claimed to work for a bank(!) in Docklands in IT. This was back in 2008, so was the time of the Banking Crisis and another Labour Government. Does he/she still post on BBC Threads when they are open to comment?

    Fellow posters were Rock Robin, Sagamix, Lefty10 and Strictly Pickled and many others. Wonder where they are now? BBC Blogs have fallen out of favour with the three senior BBC Editors and Faisal Islam, the Economics Editor, is hardly visible now – does he turn up for work daily at the BBC? He is a notable contrast to the hard working Stephanie Flanders who produced one or more Blogs per day and would read posts and reply to posters where they had picked her up on the very occasional error.

    What a contrast to the BBC of today!

    The gynaeceum that is BBC News staff drop all prior pretence that the ordering of their online press line-up might be random or happenstance this morning.

    The stauch, reflexively, come rain or shine, Labour-supporting Daily Mirror tops the BBC charts with its exclamatory shout of: Landslide! – and the playground ner-ner, ner-ner-ner, sub-header taunt: Starmer and Labour’s thumping victory as Tories crushed (Mirror)

    I’ve a recurring anxiety dream that somehow or other I’ve gotten myself into an awful lot of trouble. (Speaking truth to media power too explicitly hereabouts, perhaps?) Unjustly incarcerated on remand in some privatised corporate Serco-Mitie-plc-pfi-branded dungeon, awaiting an appearance before the AI-generated Beak and consequent bowlful of porridge at His Majesty’s pleasure – perhaps there’s still just some small glimmer of hope, some appeal to lady justice to be made on my behalf? – My brief walks in – and it’s Keir Starmer…

    I experience that disturbing sinking feeling of sudden falling and awake with a start – with the makings of a day-long sick hangover.

    In their excitement or dementia – I don’t know whether to pin the blame on our BBC or on Google – A pic of Joe Biden appears matched with the headline Corbyn wins Islington at Latest from bbc.co.uk – oh well, one confused old codger is much the same as another.

    The celebrity obsessed giveaway Metro goes with: The eXit factor – then rather echoes the cries of the Corbynite far-leftists: Keir Stormer! – the commies call him Keir Stürmer for his night of the knives-like purges.

    Boris Johnsonian classical analogy

    I’d liken our Sir Keir to the stuttering Derek Jacobi in the role of Claudius as the praetorian guard soldiers, having assassinated the hated emperor Nero, run rampaging through the palace and discover him cowering behind a curtain. Cl-cl-cl-claudius is raised aloft as the default pick for the top job in Rome. And the state sector payroll vote, by the way, look forward to a big pay rise from the patsy they just installed on the throne. Despite the treasury having been plundered.

    Your friend and mine Matt in the Telegraph sketches a couple at home in front of their googlebox as the on screen caption ‘Election 2024’ appears: “Let’s watch Titanic instead. I feel like I know how this one ends…”

    And to bookend that cri de cœur Matthew Lynn comments: ‘Britain is on the brink of bankruptcy but no one will admit it’ (Telegraph)

    Most national titles like the photograph of the happy couple: The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, and his wife, Victoria, arrive to cast their votes in London yesterday (Guardian)

    All I’ve really been told about this public sector power couple pairing is that they lateral flow covid tested one another, the kids… and probably the pets… about five times a week and once more for luck… for a period of a couple of years – and that doesn’t bode well.

    I’ve a strongly held belief, lately expressed as a recurring mantra hereabouts, that sport and politics oughtn’t to be mixed.

    It’s at the stage with me now where I’d prefer to drop all pretence of national anthems and flags at international events.

    Think about it. The stage is the Olympic track and field. Enter Team GB’s medal hungry African immigrants versus various shades of north American and continental European-branded African immigrants. What’s the point?

    BBC golden balls Gary Lineker pontificating on Arabian human rights before signing some lucrative deal with the self-same arabs akin to trading in his old mum for a camel.

    Of course our globalist regime are loving international sport. It’s all about the messaging. Hence the FT frets: Marcon’s timing sets fresh challenge for Paris Games

    How so? With Ressemblement National’s Jordan Bardella potentially installed as premier when they open on July 26… (FT) – and we can’t be having that

    The corprate globalist FT speaks for the ‘many’

    For many, the worry now is the image of France that a far-right government with a nativist platform will present to the world (FT) – oh the humanity!

    Quick, get the froggy version of Danny Boyle onto the opening ceremony show planning so as to celebrate French diversity and inclusion. What’s the Gallic equivalent of that NHS worship song and dance routine?

    I’ve got it – a hundred Kylian Mbappés in stripy black and white jerseys and berets doing the Apache dance routine paired with a hundred blonde Marine Le Pen lookee-likees in satin split skirts and stockings while weilding knives in a dramatic sexy bar fight embrance to the death.

    …the threat of disorder is complicating careful plans for policing the biggest global sporting event – laments the FT – oh the best laid plans of mice and men… of one world internationalist corporate elites and us poor parochial plebs.

    Why banks can’t stop talking about politics (FT)

    Reform result incredible. That’s the message.
    Bigger vote than the LibDems though way fewer MPs.

      “Covid-19: How does Belarus have one of the lowest death rates in Europe?
      Plagued by political turmoil over “Europe’s last dictatorship” and with a president in denial of COVID-19, how has Belarus ended up with one of the lowest death rates on the continent? Kata Karáth reports
      Belarus’s beleaguered government remains unfazed by covid-19. President Aleksander Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, has flatly denied the seriousness of the pandemic, refusing to impose a lockdown, close schools, or cancel mass events like the Belarusian football league or the Victory Day parade.
      Yet the country’s death rate is among the lowest in Europe—just over 700 in a population of 9.5 million with over 73,000 confirmed cases.”
      Lukashenko refused to cave into the criminal banksters.
      https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/belarusian-president-claims-imf-world-bank-offered-him-a-bribe-to-impose-covid-restrictions/
      Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said last month via Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA., that the World Bank and IMF offered him a bribe of USD 940 million in the form of “Covid Relief Aid.” In exchange for USD 940 million, the World Bank and IMF demanded that the President of Belarus:
      • imposed “extreme lockdown on his people”
      • force them to wear face masks
      • impose very strict curfews
      • impose a police state
      • crash the economy
      There was no pandemic. There is no virus. There is a global criminal conspiracy and this is why Labour was scripted to win years ago so they can now go full throttle towards the completion of Agenda 2030. Most of this is achieved through mind control.

    Fliss, BBC Business, (Felicity Hannah) rolls out some women to comment on the Labour win, and one especially is pleased: Raine Newton Smith, Socialist I think it is fair to say, D.G. of the CBI is pleased that Rachel Reeves will be in No.11 and claims that Labour is on the side of business. We’ll probably see the unemployment figures going up, especially in the oil and gas sectors, and the ‘green jobs growth’ failing miserably, farming increasingly threatened. Food rationing during the fifth year of Labour’s first term? Markets crashing again during the fifth year of Labour’s first term? Pound Sterling collapsing during the fifth year of Labour’s first term?

    Mark Steyn quick off the draw with his election analysis:

    “I would account the rise of a separate Islamic political force that no longer needs to work within the established parties as the most significant development of last night – and not in a good way”.

    Labour assumed the loyalty of its Muslim voters as it does the loyalty of its gay voters, but the former seem to grasp that they will soon be strong enough to do without the socialist infidels.

    Labour’s share of the vote is five points lower than Jeremy Corbyn’s supposedly humiliating defeat in 2017: in fact, it is the lowest share of the vote for any winning party ever .

    Although I’ve stayed up on many election nights the inevitability of the result and too many grinning idiots meant I gave it a miss.
    Quite honesty the result is a disaster for Britain, we can only look forward to increased taxation and Authoritarianism. More votes bought with our money by Labour from the ranks of the public sector and benefit addicts. At one time I thought the country might become a superstate again but people seem to want handouts rather than enterprise and self reliance.
    Labour wants to disassemble the Planning system, God help us, we have to look forward to millions of shoddy small units being built for the adoring proles in unsuitable locations.

    This is certainly the start of an ice age in Tunbridge Wells, as we’ve now got a Lib Dem for an MP, so the freeze-over has definitely started!

    TOADY Watch #3 – the gloom will descend very soon

    BBC Licence Fee (a.k.a. Telly Tax) increased to £200 by Labour? Then, when even more people stop paying it, it may be added to Council Tax by the Labour Government. UPFs will be banned, sugar and salt will be taxed.

    Reform’s share of the vote in Scotland is 6.9%. Not quite what I predicted or hoped for but still not too bad given Scotland’s socialist heart and propensity to flirt with separatism. Not as good as the 15% share in England and nearly 17% in Wales, but it’s something to build on.

    The results in Wales:

    “The election results for Wales
    Labour 486,636 votes (37.11%)
    Conservatives 239,993 votes (18.3%)
    Reform 223,018 votes (17.01%)
    Plaid Cymru 194,769 (14.85%)
    Liberal Democrats 85,911 (6.55%)
    Green 61,662 (4.7%)”

    I didn’t expect any different. As I’ve said before, the people of Wales are wedded to Labour, “My father and before him, my grandfather always voted Labour”.

    However, the figures will show, now, what a danger Reform will become. Ditto England. To reach just under 46% of the Labour vote is truly amazing particularly when the short history of Reform is considered.

    We, living in Wales can expect more socialist communism ahead. That punishment will be administered now, totally unchecked.

      Wales is so Socialist that the Reform vote does surprise. I haven’t analysed the figures but I guess its probably ex Tory voters voting Reform in the border constituencies in places like Monmouthshire, Conwy and Powys.
