RedwoodGirl (she/her) 💖💜💙: BBC reporting that the Conservatives have won no seats in Wales, which is the first time that's happened since 2001.

BBC News just interviewed Ed Milliband, a MP who is acting as Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. IIUC, Shadow Secretaries act as counterparts to the govt secretaries and develop alternative policies and criticism. This means Labour will have a cabinet ready immediately.

Labour has officially won the UK election! www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...

LOLOL. BBC is reporting that this is the worst election result for the Conservative party in their entire existence.

BBC reporting that the Conservatives have won no seats in Wales, which is the first time that's happened since 2001.

BBC is also reporting that eight current Conservative cabinet ministers will not only lose their cabinet seats but have also lost their parliamentary seats. This seems like such a stunning repudiation of the Conservative Party. You really do love to see it.

BBC News is reporting they've received a "strong indication" that former Prime Minster Liz "Head of Lettuce" Truss has lost her seat as well. Those results should be in within the next 10 minutes. Commentator on BBC says she never acknowledged her mistakes and was hanging around with Steve Bannon.

Former Prime Minister Liz "Head of Lettuce" Truss has lost her seat in South West Norfolk to the Labour Party candidate Terry Jermy. The BBC newscasters are kind of thunderstruck by this.

From the BBC website: "[Prime Minister] Rishi Sunak will be out of 10 Downing Street - the British equivalent of the White House - within 24 hours, and Sir Keir Starmer will be installed swiftly afterwards." www.bbc.com/news/article...

UK election: What's happened, and what comes nextwww.bbc.com Sir Keir Starmer's Labour have won a big victory - here's a guide to understanding what it all means.

Per Wikipedia, each UK constituency must have an electorate that is no smaller than 69,724 and no larger than 77,062. If the United States had a similar level of representation, we would have over 2100 members of the House of Representatives. I say bring it on. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constit...

But there's a huge far right undercurrent. It's not very nice

Yep, I'm getting that. Reform got a huge number of votes in Truss's district, and if they'd all voted Conservative, the seat would've stayed Conservative. I'm wondering how many seats are in that same situation.

I wish the US the best of luck for November. If we can kick the fuckers out here you can keep the felon out.

👏👏👏👏

Oh it’s so good I’m sad that in our Wyre forest the racist vote meant con stayed in, by such a small margin it hurts 800 seats Reform made a 10k gain here 🤮

Ack, that's such a tiny margin! I was unfamiliar with Reform til just a week or so ago and didn't realize they were making such gains. Farage is such a slimy fucking weasel that I am dumbfounded he's been elected to anything. At least in your district, 800 votes difference is totally fixable.

Nothing says “HEY I’M A RACIST!” Like voting reform UK & it’s clear reform uk is the vote % that all parties are fighting for next time
