As Nicola Sturgeon said last night, 'Welcome to First Past The Post'.

And I will happily agree that less than40% of the vote should not give a majority of 170 .

Do they have bridges in Great Yarmouth ?

Reform win 4 seats, puts them on a par with the Greens.

Turnout at 60% is the second lowest since 1918, a fraction above Blair in 2001.

Steve Baker as big a cunt as ever, in defeat.

The Tories have lost May's old seat, Boris' old seat, and Truss' seat.

Starmer is the fifth Labour leader to win a general election, the Tories have had 5 PMs since 2016.

Because of some slight boundary changes our sitting Labour MP being re-elected is shown as a gain from the Conservatives. 🙂

Another North-East turnout only just over 50%.

So he will spend the next 5 years sitting on his arse, with no effective power, banking his MP's salary without having to do anything.

Turnout down in both declrations so far.

Mackems, wannabe Geordies, who in turn are failed Yorkies. All on the wrong side of the Pennines.

MegaLolz at the SNP's plans for IndyRef2.

Ange showing Rishi that it's OK to appear in TV holding an umbrella.

We grew up on the Flower Gardens and both my brother and I went to KES and then university - he got a first at Cambridge and made a great career in the City.

Punt

Coincidentally, yes. 🙂

We voted for our imcumbent, partly because she has been very involved in local issues with the condition of the roads and it would be a pain to have to take a step backwards to start breaking in a new face.

It is for some.

At the start of June Putin spoke publicly about the war, and said that Russia was losing 1 soldier for every 5 Ukraine was losing. Official casualty numbers have only been issued by the Kremlin twice since the SMO kicked off, and nothing for over a year. However, you would think that increasing numbers of people are becoming aware of the reality as more and more wounded and maimed find their way back to hospitals away from the front. Russians are traditionally reticent to question what the State tells them.

Most of them don't know. The state TV and press won't give figures any where near the true total, and I suspect they are still recruiting disproportionately from the eastern provinces, such as Dagestan. The population of the major European cities will still be insulated from the worst of the war.

They have moved our Polling Station, and the number of people who weren't taking their polling cards and went to the wrong church. There was no visible indication of the move until you got to the Catholic church, which is hidden away behind some shops. ( And no, we did have our cards and weren't fooled ).

How do you think Farage voted ?
