    Huge Green vote there.

    Labour will be delighted with losing vast numbers of votes in safe seats.
    Like Reform.

    Edit: Who so far seem to have a habit of coming second to Labour.

    Con -20.8%

    LD +2.2%

    The actual changes are:

    Wes Streeting was very interesting before any results came in saying they piled all resources into Conservative seats, not their own ones.

    If that’s true they have played this very smartly.

    No, when he had some power. He is far more dangerous than Corbyn was, because for all Corbyn's faults he tells you straight what he believes.

    Nobody should use the word Brexit tonight - it's irrelevant.
    Bugger, I just have.

    But it rather looks to me as if Reform are severely damaging the Tories in Brexity-type seats, and Labour and/or the Lib Dems are going to slaughter the Tories in Remainy-type seats. So the Tories may well get lower than the exit poll suggests.

    Quite.

    It's why simple solutions are no solutions.
    Yes, but if the overcomplicated centrist solutions do not work, people will do simplistic populist ones. Sorry, I'm ranty again. It's 1:44am my time

    There’s definitely a Labour ladies look of bobs and bangs

    Moonrabbit did some really good commentary on this - she called them "the Labour fringes".

    It's an interesting lens through which to view the current crop of top Labour politicians, as so many of them arrived in parliament at the same time (which goes some way towards explaining why they have such similar 2010-ish haircuts)

    Partly its a result of the bottlenecking in the front bench-worthy Labour intake during the Corbyn years. The 2024 intake is going to make the party look very different, and it's worth wondering how soon the newcomers will find their way into ministerial positions.

    I just want to make it through the night without hearing Streeting. Fucker keeps popping up looking like a greased estate agent.

    Jeremy Vine said Labour are doing well enough in each seat to win with wildly different swings, suggests their targeting operation has been very advanced indeed.

    Really notable how the Labour vote is hardly shifting.

    Darlington

    Labour 16,621
    Cons 14,323
    Ref 6852
    Green 2847
    LD 1735

    Labour gain from Tories. Labour up just 0.3% though, Tories down 16%, Reform up 13%

    Extraordinary if Labour do win their landslide having gained just a few %-age points in national vote share!

    Darlington, Lab gain 16,600 to Tory 14,300, Reform 6,800

    Reform have under-performed there, Tories held up?
    Local-ish lad, the Tory; maybe a reasonable personal vote?
