The people of North Down seemingly more interested in dog shite than Tim Collins’ Rolls Royce.
What a complete cunt.
Starmer pulled 36,641 votes in Holborn and St.Pancras in 2019. He got only 18,884 votes this time.
The most limp landslide in history.
Grant Shapps has lost his seat.
Iain Duncan Smith wins Chingford and Woodford Green. Faiza Shaheen and the scab Labour candidate perfectly split the vote at 12k with Duncan-Smith getting 17k.
Duncan-Smith was given a less than 1% chance of taking that seat by the exit poll, which has not covered itself in glory on a micro level so far.

The people of Grimsby have spoken.
Revised BBC forecast:
Labour 405

Reform 4

That’s like an Eamon Dunphy quote!
TV highlight of the night so far on a night which has been very short on them.
Sorcha Eastwood wins Jeffrey Donaldson’s old set in Lagan Valley.
Gavin Robinson could be gone in East Belfast too. Naomi Long could be back in.
BBC giving a platform here for Suella Braverman to launch her bid for the Tory leadership.

GONE:
Penny Mordaunt
Johnny Mercer
Andrea Jenkyns
Therese Coffey
