130 more than they deserve after the way they’ve conducted themselves.
Good, they can fuck right off, corrupt bunch of incompetents.
I’m amazed anyone can look at the past 13 years of Tory rule and still vote for them.
It’s bewildering.
These the same poll experts that got the Brexit vote so wrong that Remainers didn’t bother to vote because they thought it was in the bag?
No they are not – they just want us to be complacent
When they’re focusing fire on themselves at this stage of the electoral cycle – yeah, they’re going to get wrecked.
I suspect that 130 is on the low side, but I think Keir’s going to be playing with a 1997 Blair-style majority.
Here’s hoping he can use that to good and positive effect.
I think we are going to have another Tory PM before the next Election. If this Rwanda bill doesn’t go through on Tuesday, then Sunak will be over at that point. If it does go through then I still can’t see him making it to the Spring.
Can’t wait to see the Tories get ousted and then settle in and enjoy the greener pastures that the Tory Lite party will inevitably bring.
They’re en route to breaking their 117-year record in terms of the number of seats lost dating back to 1906 when they won 156 seats but lost power as a result of losing 246 seats.
That is a significant part of country that are loving this. A generation that had their money from this years ago, and the rest are made up of future millionaires worried about labour, and racists.
That is the only explanation for why anyone would continue to vote for this lot.
Labour keep putting people forward in the area in live who are not from around here, have never lived here and would treat the post as a stepping stone for something they’d rather do. As long as this goes on, they won’t be getting my vote.
As a person who believes in conservative ideals and the free market, the incompetence of the tories has been really disappointing! No ideology can save you from incompetence!
I have a feeling the actual result will be closer than we’d like. My gut tells me we’ll be seeing a Labour-led repeat of 2019, but with a slight uplift due to the SNP falling back and Labour taking more of their seats.
We are not going to revisit 1997. And even at that time the Tories still managed to get 160+ seats.
They don’t care. This lot will just feign defeat and then retire from politics and live of their illgotten gains.
They are going to be eviscerated and I cannot wait for it
Many of the Tory safe seats aren’t affected in the way the majority of us are by their clown show. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of them benefit.
Hopefully so, but the polls also predicted we’d have a Milliband government, Remain would win, May would wipe out Corbyn………
To be replaced by red Tories so no change effectively
Labour might regret getting too big a majority – it’s terrible for party discipline. Same thing as the current government – too many MPs and they don’t need to follow the line. It also means an ineffective opposition. Labour have been relying for months on not being the Conservatives rather than having a coherent message and any policy.
Let them be disbanded! get them the fuck out! they’ve fucked things up royally
I’ll believe it when it actually happens this time.
This isn’t going to change. The whole country is screaming for a change. I wish they’d just call an election and put them out of our misery!
Slow news day? Are we just going to repeat this ad infinitum every week before the election? 🤣.
How are the Tories doing this bad? Seriously? I’m relieved that the public realise how they really shouldn’t be in power but it’s incredible how things have so flipped round in a single Parliament.
Noone positively voting Labour though. Starmer still seems to represent nothing .
How have we ended up with such an awful choice?
Tories will still get over 200 seats though.
The trouble is, Labour will then be able to do what they want without any serious opposition. If this was a genuine Labour Party this might not be such a problem, but it looks like they’ll just push through the same sort of neo-liberal policies the Tories would have done, only with a bit of left cover, at least for the first two or three years. The lack of a principled opposition isn’t anything to get excited about. It wouldn’t surprise me if they try to dismantle the NHS, although they’d dress it up in a way so that most people wouldn’t be able to object.
Get Labour in I want them to fuck it up and people will finally see there’s no difference between the 2.
It won’t be that bad. Polls always favour Labour as Tory voters always tend to not lend themselves to these polls/are often older people. I believe we will end up with a hung parliament
They’ve been too focussed on distraction politics. Being ‘anti-woke’, stopping the boats, things that don’t actually make a difference to people’s lives. There’s no substance to any of it. Add that to the fact that Rishi just isn’t a strong leader and they’re looking weak all around.
This could all change come actual election time of course. It often does. Who knows what own goals Labour will conjure up.
Wouldn’t it make sense for the tories to draw the election as far out as possible, i.e. Jan 2025 since they are polling so bad and their policies are so deeply unpopular? American living in UK so you may need to ELI5.

They’ve gone beyond insane. Rwanda, potentially splitting families apart.
This is just plain evil now.
