(0211) This is no more than what it says. I awoke at the end of a Paul Temple episode for a change (don’t ask) and it’s not concluded, nor is it shaping up definitely for anyone. Here are some things we could glean.
- The very latest was Rupert in the polling room finally being interviewed by Laura Lousy. Big smile, Rupert but not that of a victor … mentioned 46% not voting, so same old same old which put Starmer in.
- Labour saying there is some positivity they’ll take it.
- Which of course leaves Reform, no reports on X. Beeb says counting continues at Makerfield.
From what I can gather, those faux polls put out by Uniparty were not hugely out, a report that it’s too close to call between Labour and Reform but that’s Beeb/Estab talking. Almost no one talking Restore win, which means nothing that … “almost no one is talking” is not exactly conclusive. There was one claim of 65% turnout.
Restore canvassers were reporting back about Reform intending voters saying they were going Reform this time, Restore in 2029. There was fairly universal acceptance that Restore is on the map now. Percentage … 7%? 20? No one is calling that at 0237. I’m for bed. (0237)
A different Laura … Laura Lovely:
Late … Burnham takes it.
