It’s time to see if the polls are right.
Previously: the voting megathread
Quick question - does anyone have the link to that “Tories being voted out” bingo card website? It was posted a few days ago, but I can’t find it.
[EDIT]
Found it -

I’m watching the BBC program, currently just discussing the exit poll before any official results.
Exit poll shows conservatives losing 241 seats, Labour landslide predicted with 410 seats. Not a huge surprise, but a welcome start.
I did find it entertaining that the labour guest in the show is congratulating Kier Starmer and Co. On a job well done, when really this is almost entirely caused by Tory self destruction.
Peter Mandelson? I think he had a point in that Starmer has changed the party from unelectable with Corbyn (which sadly, they were) to a more than realistic prospect for a sensible alternative to the Tories.
You’re right of course that the Conservatives have utterly fucked the pooch (not to mention the country) but Starmer has nonetheless made a massive change in making the party palatable to many, many more people (not that I personally agree with quite a lot of his policies and policy reversals)
Interestingly, Labour have less of the vote (proportionaly) than when Corbyn was at the helm.
The entire C4 panel laughed at Nadine when she just couldn’t stop talking about Boris Johnson
