Are we supposed to be discussing the error or the little play button? |

I believe an error occurred. What is everyone else’s opinion on this? |

The 7 million drop in conservative votes probably helped too though. 😂 |

That’s the interesting part for me. There has to be a serious discussion now around the voting system. I’m not sold on PR it comes with its own issues but FPTP is also deeply flawed.
Labour have benefitted from the perfect storm of the Tories and SNP completely self imploding and Farage fancying one last hurrah. |

So Labour ended on 33.7% which is nearly a whopping 7% down on Corbyn.
The polls showing Labour in the 40’s was way out as I predicted. Yougov the most accurate of the lot again but still overestimated the Labour vote. |

They are significantly down almost everywhere except Scotland.
Interestingly the Muslim vote appears to have deserted them completely. 11 points down in seats with Muslim populations of 10% or higher.

If I were a strategist for the Conservative Party I would stay away altogether from the big names who have failed in the last 14 years. I would almost be tempted to do what Toshack did with wales, chuck all the promising youngsters in and let them grow together and get experience whilst taking bad results and when the next election comes along they’ll all be metaphorically sitting on 50 caps. |

Fascinating stuff. Waiting for the release of the full data to get more detail but to me the real winner is apathy I think. Labour 3 million votes down on Corbyn’s 2017 result. 500,000 down on 2019 which was widely seen as a disaster. Low turnout across the board. Any other election they would have been trounced on this performance. Partygate and the shenanigans that followed have been the death knell for the conservatives in the same way the tuition fee pledge/lie killed the Lib Dem’s for a decade.
SNP wiped out which is lovely to see. There’s their mandate on independence gone along with their toxic, childish antics. |

Labour 5% down in Swansea east and neath. This is replicated across the principality. Boundary changes of course might have had an effect and also low turnout. |

I read he was a big fan of Fulham, didn’t read the detail but it was something about him being a massive cottager. |

Not as much a manipulator as Albert steptoe though. He proved himself to be a top shagger too in that episode where Harold moves out. |

30% of the vote in a Labour safe seat in Sunderland. I predicted earlier on they’ll get more votes than the conservatives but not many seats, there’s still a chance I was right. |

I was reading earlier about Harold Wilson storming into the BBC headquarters on polling day after hearing that the bbc was going to show an episode of Steptoe and Son. He demanded a meeting with the director general to demand it was pulled from the schedule as it was getting 20 odd million views per episode and he didn’t want voters staying in to watch it instead of voting. |

John curtace on the telly box confirming that although it will be a landslide for Labour in terms of seats it definitely isn’t a landslide in terms of votes. The reform estimate of 13 seats is likely to be inaccurate, they could win a lot more seats or could win none as there’s a lot of seats they have a chance of winning but seem to be second place in a lot of them. |
