I watched with our cat until a few hours ago, and leaving the result out of it, I was immensely proud of the UK!
Just look at how the transition of power took place. Seemless, without rancor or violence. The speaches of Mourdant and Buckland were exceptional given their results, thought Hunt was interesting too; albeit a case of: why weren't you doing this in power?
And plenty of departing Tories congratulated and wished their victors the best.
Compare that with the US in 2020, and what might happen in France next week and the US soon. As Mrs PH just said to me: Last night said a lot about the UK, a lot other countries should note and admire.
Exhausted now, Girona gone for a burton, as I'll be taking naps all day.
However, with great power comes great responsibility for Labour. They certainly made the right noises on the night - so fingers crossed they not only do a good job, but also attract back lost voters to Farage. And let's be honest: Reform split the Tories, and handed Labour the win but now the big issue for the Tories is what party do they want to be? Lurch to the right to suck up to Farage or repel him and learn the lesson of last night about being out of touch.
We'll get an idea when we see who they elect to replace Sunak.

Good post and agree. Except surely the best moments were seeing the end of Liz Truss and Jacob RM - far worse than Portillo ever was IMHO... |  | | |

Now the work really starts for Labour to mend the mess the out going bunch have created. As was once said ...Things can only get better....I hope. |  |

Galloway immediately losing his seat and not even going on the stage. Yes. Come on, UK!
Also, we're rid of that haunted victorian pencil looking c**t Rees-Mogg. Fking slimy c**t. I'll celebrate his death. |  |

Be interesting to see who Starmer picks to replace JRM as Minister for The Eighteenth Century. Although I suspect he'll close that Department of government. | |

In two year's time, nothing much will have changed (because there's no money to change anything) and all the angry protest voters will be even angrier and will now be blaming Labour. And everything will get more divisive and polarised.
I can't wait. |  |

It'll be interesting as Starmer is very much in the back pocket of the World Economic Forum.
Net Zero will be on page 1 of "things to do" with energy bills getting higher along with petrol and diesel to force such vehicles off the road.
ULEZ will be tightened across London and spread throughout the country making towns and cities almost inaccessible (see Oxford and Canterbury).
Your friendly GP can give you a certificate that switches you from "Mr" to "Mrs" replacing years of therapy, proof of lifestyle and a panel of medical experts.
"Smash the gangs" will be a laughing stock as Starmer voted against every single one of the dozen or so proposals to somehow "stop the boats".
David Lammy will roll out his own-brand tablets that help men grow a cervix and Sharia Law will sneak in through the back door in some cities via Angela Rayner.
"Fourteen years of chaos" yes and jog on Conservatives but...bloody hell. |  |

Well said. Me and my cat were thinking the same thing.
Apart from the utterly graceless Liz Truss, so pleasing to see beaten candidates congratulate their opponent and not start sulking or demonising.
For the future, the defeat of Mourdant and the victory of Braverman may be crucial, being on 'left' and 'right' of the party respectively. The mainstream media's obsession with Farage also doesn't help, especially given the Lib Dems' success. I really hope we can avoid the often bitter polarisation we see in the US and parts of Europe.

I'm personally looking forward to the "age of consent" debate. We know they want to lower it, we know they want to give our children hormone blockers, we know they want to get rid of some of the grooming gang cases......Nonce appeasement incoming. |  |

Can you just clarify who the " they " are ?
There is talk of voting age being lowered to 16 but nothing about consent that I can see . [Post edited 5 Jul 12:43]

The establishment. Stonewall. Mermaids. Hope Not Hate. The whole progressive/solidarity movement that Kier Starmer was right behind until he realized it doesn't win elections.
Now they've lied their way into No.10 - But the same GloboHomo agenda is still there. | |

Surely the voting age is the base line. It would be odd if you were allowed to vote as an adult but were barred from other rights | | | |

The only saving grace is the rise of the Lib Dems. Maybe in 5 years when Labour has screwed up, interest rates and inflation have gone up and everyone is striking they will be the difference between Labour or the Tories winning a majority. Can't see Reform making any progress, they only won 4 seats on the back of nationalist jingoism. They are powder puff. | | | |

You're talking about a party that admits it allowed sensitivities around ethnicity prevent action on child sexual exploitation and abuse. [Post edited 5 Jul 13:54]

Agree some of the Tory speeches were really good, but where has this been the last few years. They were all complicit in what went on and supported the likes of Johnson until it became impossible to do so. | | | |
