TQR 14,398 Posted June 3 YouGov reckons Labour on 422, Tories on 140; a working majority of 194. That’s bigger than Blair’s, and the biggest since Baldwin’s 100 years ago. It reckons losses include cabinet ministers Jeremy C-hunt, Corinne Shapps, Penny Dreadful, Alex Chalk, Gillian Fuckinggood-Job, Victoria Prentis, David Davies, Mel Stride, Mark Harper and Johnny Mercer. BrexitHardManSteve Baker, Bin Afolami and Lee Rowley also in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad252 807 Posted June 3 There are a lot of Tory hold seats on that poll, especially in the south, that the Tories would actually lose if tactical voting gets somewhere, we're talking only a few % in it, such as Tunbridge Wells plus Glastonbury & Somerton.

Everyone is trying MRP now but I'll wait for the YouGov one as they have a proven track record in getting the gist correct with them. 39 minutes ago, TQR said: YouGov reckons Labour on 422, Tories on 140; a working majority of 194.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted June 3 1 hour ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: If Farage still doesn't win a seat in somewhere like Clacton in this climate it will undoubtedly be one of the funniest things of the election He blamed Tory fraud for failing to win in 2015, when he lost in Thanet South by a couple of thousand votes, so don't worry. If he doesn't win, it will be someone else's fault: the dark forces of the state denying him a voice. Suspect he's only standing because it's a slam dunk victory for him unfortunately.

Father Brown 209 Posted June 3 Farage standing in Clacton means he's pretty much restricted to travelling the constituency AND it'll split the Tory vote there. Doing us all a favour it seems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted June 3 Watching this has gotten me thinking as to who will be the "Michael Forsyth" of 2024. If the declaration times are broadly similar to 2019. It'll be after 3am but we'd then potentially get a load of them in the space of an hour or so. Based on 2019 Mordunt is potentially the 1st up closely followed by David TC Davies https://electionresults.parliament.uk/general-elections/4/declaration-times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a point to be fair, they dragged in money over and above their allowed spend, because they were bricking it that he'd win. One of the staffers helping Craig Mackinlay win that time - Marion Little - was eventually fined and given a suspended sentence for the way she handled funds. Mackinlay was interviewed under caution.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted June 3 5 hours ago, The Old Crem said: Just for the hilarity of how ridiculously preposterous this poll is (48% for Labour, really?) but Electoral Calculus says Labour would have a majority of 388. They would hold all bar 131 seats in the entire House of Commons. The Tories would have 58, Lib Dems 37. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If she doesn't then hoo boy we're likely into some sort of Canada '93 territory not as low as 2 but definitely the Tories only ending up with MP's in double figures.
