Fourth July UK General Election.

I will be going to rewatch Inside Out 2 tomorrow. This time with a couple of friends.

I thought I'd go to the City to watch the fireworks...since they are being held on the Hudson rather than the East River.

But apparently there will be very limited area for viewing.

Gonna watch them on TV.

Sounds like a lot of fun Who are we abusing? I'll be watching this space

Lots of big beasts will be losing their seats.

It's known as a Portillo moment, after cabinet minister Michael Portillo lost his "safe" seat in the 1997 election.

There is talk that Rishi Sunak's seat is in danger.

The only fly in the ointment is the possibility that Frogface Farage may be elected MP for Clacton.

This however is an election the Tories are losing. It's not one Labour are winning.

The anti Tory vote will give some surprises. The Greens are expected to gain a few seats, they currently have one.

Also pro Palestinian parties in Muslim majority seats may make an impact.

There's also Farage's far right Reform Party, but that is more likely to split the Tory vote than get many seats in their own right.

Never expect a lot of coherence anyway, izzy.

Give it hell, Izzy.

I just voted, Labour.

I nearly voted TUSC, didn't know they were standing so I had a moment's indecision.

Five minutes before the polls close and I've opened my first beer.

Exit polls predict a Labour landslide.

Couple of early declarations, both Lab holds, as expected, no surprises yet.

On my third beer, a lovely strawberry Belgian beer.

The big story is Reform pushing the Tories into 3rd place in Labour holds.

Grant Shapps has just lost his seat.

Jeremy Corbyn has held his seat as an independent.

Frogface has won his seat in Clacton.

Labour has now won enough seats to form a majority.

Kier Starmer is the new prime minister.

I love your conversation with yourself These upsets happen all the time; it's like spring cleaning. We're expecting one with Dufus Trudeau in a year!! So excited to see the back of him. Some of his own MPs are calling him to step down. Silly, useless dilettante.

I stayed up just long enough to see Labour get to 326 seats and secure a majority.

No. 326 was Rees Mogg's seat, so it was doubly rewarding.

I know next-to-zilch about UK political scene but I looked up Starmer-Charmer’s resume and he certainly has a great resume. I wish we had someone of that caliber running here instead of TweedleDum and Dumber.
