First Eurovision vibes of the thread. Pray it's not the last.

What are people drinking? Just done a bottle of Cava, now on the white port.

Had a glass of Macallan 12 and a "home made" flapjack for the rest of the night.

What a surprise, there’s a fvckton (yes that’s an SI unit of measure) of thick racists in the country - a product of 14yrs of division and underfunding. 

Dont swerve it Daggers, say what you think and how you feel!

Leadsom reckons Conservatives haven't been conservative enough. Christ.

Still popped the champagne even though didn’t hit my under 99.5 seats bet. I’ve still won.

You can see what this election is going to actually be about. The Tories became unelectable, but people haven’t voted Labour particularly because they believe in Starmer. 
And Reform is probably kick-starting its popularity. It’ll be interesting to see whether the Tories and Reform do form some sort of coalition. 
This doesn’t look like people voting Labour because they believe in Labour. But that they are a. Sick of Westminster and ya-boo politics and b. Couldn’t vote Tory.

Give over. We all know why Reform will get as many votes as it will. The same reason why the country was gaslighted to fvck itself into oblivion with Brexit: The immediate and terrifying threat of Johnny Foreigner.
 

Farage has made his entire political career making rage junkies out of right-leaning voters. They get a dopamine hit from indignation.

I do. 
 

Especially when I’m knocking back these big boys.

Unfortunately nothing ‘homemade’ here.

Or you gone hardcore with a Kaluah and Baileys?

Again, it’s becoming clear that Reform are off and running.

Yes - but to be frank - there was an open opportunity to do so.

 

I think you could make a case that Labour have won by default.

 

That the Conservatives nuked themselves - but through their campaigning they also killed Labour’s appeal / message.

 

However - given that, this could show a problem for Reform / Farage in that how do they attract a further share of the vote to take them to the next level in 5 years time - given Labour will then have incumbent advantage and in theory, shouldn’t look as incompetent as the Conservatives did this time around?

Wish I had a bottle of whisky so I could pretend we aren't an island of racists for one more night

Before you call me a racist, I’m probably more liberal than you are when it comes to immigration and I didn’t vote reform but that comment is utter nonsense. Racism and a concern over immigration are not the same thing.

Get yourself a bottle of green spot from Tesco! Lovely drop of Irish whiskey!

[Lako42]

No surprise the tory on c4 still dismissive of the vote against them. 

 

Very little self awareness

Got a keg of Everards extra time ipa in the fridge. Though this has finished well before the final whistle

It’s the logical conclusion when you’ve just been destroyed by the centre left.

As if she thinks that's sexist too. Idiot.

Can we all just take a moment. With Hunt, Mourdant and Shapps likely to lose their seats, the Tories will aim to rebuild with Suella bastard Braverman as leader. They could fall under 100 seats next time. They’ll split the vote between Braverman and bloody Farage!

Clearly it's the Reform vote that has led her to that conclusion

They aren't, but I do wonder how many of these reform voters know anything about immigration or even why they think it's bad.

It depends how it’s peddled. Farage is very much “Rule Britannia” in his approach. I’m shocked he hasn’t gathered his party on the HMS victory and sailed the length of the nation firing cannons into the sky dressed as Nelson clutching the Daily Mail. And there’s a certain cluster of people who will cling to that like a sloppy dog shit on moist grass.
