According to Vince Cable immigration can’t be the issue for Reform’s good results in North East because they’re aren’t many immigrants in those constituencies. Perhaps it was Farage’s Thatcherite economics that swung it.

The Lib Dems are projected to make dozens of gains from the Tories tonight, and yet I don't think I've barely heard them mentioned at all on the BBC coverage so far?

I’m hoping soon to see the result in Penistone & Stocksbridge, where my lovely and brilliant former Labour Party colleague, Marie Tidball, will shortly be ousting the disgusting Miriam Cates.

Labour likely to win Thurrock pretty comfortably. Going to be loads of Reform there, I reckon.

This is where Twitter does my head in - some reports that Yvette Cooper might be in trouble defending her seat vs Reform, other reports stating she is expected to win comfortably :roll:
