    SNP gain Aberdeenshire N

    @RochdalePioneers we always believed in you
    Last behind the disowned Laborite. Reform actually came third, which is novel. Outfits like that haven't gained much traction in Scotland before, but Reform seems to be picking up decent hauls of votes all over the place.

    Despite all of the noise, Reform have quite badly under-performed no? At least compared to the Lib Dems and Greens.

    Reform have got the biggest voteshare increase of any party, including Labour

    But they were projected 13 seats at the start of the night and have got four.

    In 2029 they may well be what the Lib Dems are today and this is all a sign. But it's hardly a break-through.

    Am I being stupid or is that only because they didn't contest the previous election and, therefore, any %vote is an increase?

    But that hasn’t resulted in seats. The argument against Corbyn was always that it didn’t matter if he did well in vote share terms, it was seats that mattered :wink:

    On votes at least Reform have already got more than the LDs, even if the LDs got more seats than Reform

    I doubt Farage himself thought they would get 14.

    So do you support PR now? What matters is seats, the Lib Dems have won lots, Reform bugger all.

    Greens gain Waveney Valley. Their strategy has worked.

    The strategy was good, the execution remarkable.

    In Bristol Central we spoke face to face to 25,000 voters - if the voter didn't want to speak to us, they didn't count towards that total. That's 25k actual conversations.

    23 pieces of literature were hand delivered to every house. The first of which went out within 6 hours of the election being announced, the last delivered between 6 and 8 am today to get out the vote.

    I think the blue the Jeremy Vine map uses for the Tories is too Reform turquoise, it gets confusing to distinguish Tory blue, Reform blue, Green green and Plaid Cymru green.

    Lots of subplots in this election.

    Biggest subplot is the Lib Dems. A stunning result for them.

    Subplots also for Reform, Greens and Gaza affiliated candidates. And the SNP, in a bad way for them.
