So you can take what you want from the Exit Poll and certainly celebrate Labour’s success. But now it seems the UK has its own Trump and Freedom Caucus that will dominate debate because they shout louder than everyone else. Bad things start small. Let’s hope those figures change. #UKGE2024

I think we have to learn to live with Reform being in Parliament but we have had UKIP in Europe and the BNP in the GLA and they were surprisingly quiet and inactive. It's horrible but not catastrophic, surely?

Is it an age thing to have a list of public figures in your head that you're guesstimating the life expectancy of, so that you can come to terms with how long you're going to endure their bullshit for?

I think you should allow yourself a few minutes, a few hours, maybe a few days of being happy... (I also predict we won't see those numbers of Reform MPs tomorrow.)

I saw this Dr David Bull interviewed. He made a dig at Farage. Perhaps, he and Farage will be at each other’s throats vying for leadership. Infighting would lessen Reform’s impact.

Reform coming 2nd to Labour in the seats so far scares me profoundly. I fear a Starmer will pander further

Hopefully the consistent scrutiny that MPs are under will be bad for Refo - ah, never mind, just remembered the state of the UK media.

worries me a bit they eventually re-merge with conservatives, and what that power dynamic eventually looks like. But for today, at least, that is a problem for the future

Is there any way we can just kind of ignore them like a drunk yelling in the night? I mean in real terms they are still kind of irrelevant and the more you make them yell the stupider they’ll sound…

That minute of euphoria has been evaporated, labour less than the percentage of the vote that Corbyn had and reform doing well.

Reform just came second in Sunderland, so it could be a depressing night...
