How long will Starmer hold out for? Maybe it'll take some more cabinet resignations.

Restore at 7% is surely a big problem for Reform.

Tories vs Labour seems back on the menu. I always thought the idea the Tories were dead was dumb.

Surely a coronation is also odds on. Burnham has shown he’s an electoral winner and it wasn’t even close in a seat Starmer and everyone else is guaranteed to lose.

Large polling miss for Burnham

At least we didn't have to wait until 5am for results tonight, thanks to all of the majorities being large ones.

Rejoin 35.

Serious LOL....

Well what I thought improbable before he found the seat, is now surely odds on. Burnham next PM.

I got on at 3.25 so a decent profit coming there too.

Lol a huge lead

55%!

Others In numerical order.

The result isn’t even going to be close. As was obvious from day one.

Yep. Called this spot on from day one - Burnham was powered by the two biggest forces in British politics today: the anti-Starmer vote and the anti-Farage vote.

Thoughts and prayers for Leon.
