Nah Reform seats will probably go down to the wire, possible recounts. But if the nutters in the tories are now the majority, and they want him, they'll wait to see the final numbers and possibly allow a sacrificial lamb to lead for awhile.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Redwood's suit is minging. He looks like Larry Grayson from Generation Game
Fecking Farage and 30p Lee will win their seats. Hoping Farage fecks himself over with governance or transparency issues. Fecking racist Reform pieces of shit. He will try to get into the Tories to have a run at being PM by the next election.
This isn't 1997. There's no hope or anticipation. It's more anxiety and trepidation. Starmer has a lot of work to do.
Burnham sticking the boot in 
What i'm hoping is that "shy tories" lied on the way out and said they voted reform, but voted tory/labour.
Steve Baker is a miserable prick isn’t he.
I think he said the Conservative’s share is less than Labour’s was in 2019.
Also Reform is more than LD
Sky News set looks pretty good I think
Got to say, I am quite disappointed at the amount of Tory seats. I was hoping under 100

And the lads in the Starmer thread on here
Angela stop being a fool. you got this girl
You’re underestimating first past the post. Over the next 5 years the Tories will work out what they need to do to get votes back from Reform and that means shifting right, then that Labour majority disappears. Starmer is set to get about to get 63% of the seats with about 40-44% of the vote.
Ah that makes much more sense, thank you!
I think most exit polls are confidential, just like the actual vote.
Bloody should have been
Goodbye Tories.
can't possibly win 400 seats on 30% votes! maybe 2017? the polling has settled somewhere a fraction below the 2019 numbers.
Robert Buckland looks like a fecking lobster.
We can still enjoy tonight though.
Brexit hard man Steve Baker
This Buckland on Sky News looks like he's spent the last two weeks wandering around the Tenerife wilderness looking for Jay Slater given how red he is.
Be interesting to see where they were thick enough to vote reform in.
Still hope Reform can win less.

It looks as though Reform may win more seats than many polls suggested.
This is largely because, not only has the Conservative vote fallen far in seats they previously held, but also because Reform has advanced most in areas people voted Leave in the 2016 EU referendum.
However, how many seats Reform will win is highly uncertain – our model suggests there are many places where they have some - but a relatively low - chance of winning.

Yes that must be right.
Wonder what the turnout has been? I voted very early and there were a number of people ahead of me. Someone else at a different polling station said it was busy there.
He has such an overwhelming majority that should make his job easy. Even if there are massive rebellions on his own party, he still should have enough MPs to push forward his policies.
If he fails, it is his fault. And to be fair, he will get compared to Tories of the last 15 years so anything short of being shit will look good in comparison.
When the UK switches, they switch for a long time (Thatcher, Blair, Tories all ruled for over a decade).

No. 2017 is possible, though it's a misleading statistic, given the historic weakness of the smaller parties in that election. If it's even close, that's going to be a line you hear a lot, but I don't think it means much.
10 SNP seats means that the UK will have to suffer the Scots for the foreseeable. feck sake.
Only positive to the amount of Tory seats is that kier has to look at that and think, shouldn't haven't been that high, what did I do wrong.
To think people still voted conservative after everything. The scandals, the corruption, the crime.
In this country, there is absolutely no reaching some people and you understand that it's a cult of the miserable selfish morons who just hate anyone not living in a ditch.

I imagine Reform will spend most of their time campaigning for PR.
Thank you. Makes sense.
That’s his next big campaign.
Essex and Yorkshire probably.

Also Mhairi Black just now on Channel 4 blamed the rain for the poor SNP performance...
The rain? In Scotland?
