I’d never witnessed a general election from a count scrutiny position.
It’s an archaic system, paper based, layers of checking, while we watch on unabashed. The more professional looking (conservative usually) have clip boards with paper lists to mark as the ballots opened and we get our first glimpse of how the vote will go. So many reform.
A long night. Lowestoft girls. Mark,popper Stavsngsr.
Ours came through 3.30am.
121 Conservative mp, 23/ of vote.
Reform took a dent out. Without reform Adrian unlikely . Did conservatives loose or labour win. ? Depends on narrative. Nick robinson made much of this unusual historic event only times of labour wining over conservative. the last time of course 97 with Tony Blair landslide. Much parallel to this time
New cabinet. Angela Rainer. First female chancellor rachel reeves. Yvette cooper Home Secretary. David Lammy new foreign secretary.
Labour landslide they call it, despite only 35/ of vote. lower than Corbin
Garage took 14/ of vote with 5 seats.
