Just watched BBC NI announcement
Jumped back 15mins and rewatching on ITV

Mmm yeah but I think labour is shipping a bit to reform too in this exit poll model (according to people who know their stuff)

Reform are a worry. It's like an early stage cancer. No symptoms yet, but it might eventually be fatal.

Oh, that's giving Tories a 99%+ likelihood in mine... at least it's not RUK, if true.

I suspect you are one of the youngest Topsham residents, so not a surprise.
Too close to call in true blue s.e. Cornwall.

Seat by seat suggests likely labour for me, 5 percent for Tory hold, and 1 for Reform. Good given some polling was suggesting it was almost an even 3 way split at times.

Watching the announcement now on C4
They absolutely fumbled it.

Had to turn that off when they started arguing, I think there will be an actual fight in there before morning.
I can't listen to Dorries for long anyway.

I have to admit, it was higher than I thought (obviously with the caveat we don't actually know any results yet!). I was expecting 80-100 max.

Biggest swing in British political history, biggest labour victory ever, worst conservative result in 200 years lol

If you needed confirmation of why they had to go, Chris Grayling has been made a lord.

Yeah if it was just a long live Rest is Politics (maybe if they got Tom and Dom on as well...) I would listen to that. But Dorries, Kwarteng, Widdecombe etc urghhhh

I am moving house in the next couple of months. Only 3 miles but fall into a new constituency where it looks as though the Tory MP will cling on. Gutted if that is the case.

Given my low expectations, I'm surprised by how well Kwarteng comes across.

Yeah he doesn't speak too badly tbf. Dorries though - there's a few screws loose in there. We only put C4 on as their show started ten mins before BBC, had to switch over when Maitliss couldn't control their first big argument.

He's a smart eloquent bloke with a poor choice in friends. He's less credible when they get him on to the mini budge, because he can't quite admit fault.

reform will quietly welcome the fker back in

Early indication that at least one DUP MP who thought they were safe us sweating now.
If it's Carla Lockhart in Upper Bann that's one of the few seats that can go Unionist to Nationalist and would leave a majority of Nationalist MPs for the first time in the history of the state set up specifically to avoid that outcome

I try to avoid personal insults but Dorries is just monumentally thick. Genuinely lacking any discernible intelligence, but even worse she is a stupid person who believes they are really clever and that everyone else is an idiot.

Now watching the Sky Exit poll announcement
They put the graphic up and just had 10 secs of gasps and moans.

Channel 4 just had two examples in their studio. It feels like a weird switch. They’re already banging on about the unfair FPTP system.

I’m not sure it’s that big a result for Reform anyway, they’ve just gone into seats that had Reform candidates pretending to be Tories last time around.

What are the main factors at play in NI? Has the DUP involvement with Brexit hit them hard? How have the Donaldson accusations been viewed over there?
