UK General Election 2019 - Election Day and Results Thread

[OSR stands with Israel]

Imagine being a 60 year old British guy from the northeast who has voted Labour his entire life, hates Thatcher with a passion, but looks at Boris and goes “hey I know he went to the most elite school in the country and was born into wealth but he wears his hair in a weird style so yeah I think he’s one of us”

Well Labour has never nominated someone as horrible as Corbyn before

[DistingFlyer]

First Welsh result: Labour hold Caerphilly with a 6.1% swing against them.

Much as the polls consistently showed, that was not the issue. More a case of losing votes - a LOT of votes - to abstention and to smaller parties.

Are their any sites which gives updated forecasts as the night goes on

Tories gain Vale of Clwyd: Chris Ruane, Labour member since the 1997 blowout, loses on a 5.5% swing.

Tories gained it in 2015, but lost it in 2017. So, third election in a row now where it's changed parties.

My apologies; you're quite right.

Wrexham has just come in, and has fallen to the Tories on a 5.8% swing. This one has been either Liberal or Labour since its creation in 1918, though the Conservatives came close to winning it in 1983 in a three-way fight.

[Silent Hunter]

Lab gain Putney!

[DistingFlyer]

Tories hold Harrogate & Knaresborough, but Liberals get a 7.6% swing towards them.

[jeron]
