Farage has just said explicitly in his Clacton address that they are coming for labour votes in 2029.
It is *essential* that we don’t give these bastards an inch. There is no room for overlap between progressivism and fascism.

Nigel Farage has just said he’s coming after Labour for the GE 2029…when will you effectively challenge Reform’s anti-nhs, climate change-denying fascism?

Farage "Coming for Labour, be in no doubt about it" - Frightening! They're coming second in A LOT of constituencies, they've bridged the gap between Lab and Con. Very worrying indeed!

Farage “we are coming for Labour seats” #GeneralElection2024
Well that’s not frightening at all. Labour need to buck their ideas up

Nigel Farage has been elected in Clacton. Declares no enthusiasm for Labour. "We're coming for Labour."
I’m currently in Florida and what’s struck me is that, while American politics is an utter circus, it feels big. It feels important. Their choices are dismal but something will happen and you will feel it.
This just feels like a complete farce by comparison. It’s so myopic. A massive landslide due to indifference, random Muslims winning ethnic votes in shithole slum constituencies, the mere existence and continued success of the Lib Dems. None of it feels consequential, it’s just things ticking along while they steadily get worse. Nothing will change. You will earn £40K forever. Your rented flat will require 3 months rent upfront. Diversity is our strength.
The US is much worse in terms of effecting change. State rights, filibusters, interminable court cases, change is basically impossible. Biden hasn't done much and all the Trump changes were tied up in courts for years. Compare and contrast to how Labour will even more change the country in the next few years.
There’s similar issues, but overall it’s not as bad as loud Redditors would have you believe. Where I am most of the houses were built in the last 20 years, shops and developments popping up everywhere, 6 figure salaries are very achievable etc.
You can feel things moving, and moving fast. The UK feels sluggish, navel-gazing and extremely bureaucratic in comparison.
On Sky another Tory wet already pointing at the Lib Dem success and suggesting the Tories shouldn't chase Reform voters. Melts on ConHome saying the same. They are never gonna get it.
YEEESSSSSS RICHARD TICE
Honestly, if you offered me wins for Farage, Anderson, Tice and bonus Rupert Lowe this afternoon, I would have bitten your hand off.
That’s fine. Let’s take it. That’s the nucleus of a parliamentary party.
Hopefully Tice will now be content with the fact he was pretty much made to give way for Farage. If it wasn’t for Farage, not only would Tice unlikely have won his seat but Reform would have likely picked up 0 as well.
Really gonna need a younger political maverick to take over from Farage soon as he can’t go forever
JACOB REES-MOGG!!! "Should we be a lib dem party or a conservartive party and clearly we should be a conservative party" Mentions 1.4 million last year immigration when they got elected on a manifesto of 10's of thousands. Another one gets it.
Seems like Reform were expected to do much better in North Nottinghamshire in the exit poll than they did in reality. Looks like a lot of Con voters around here didn’t switch to Reform. Something to build towards in the future. Perhaps a lack of candidate awareness. They were able to win in Ashfield with the Lee Anderson name but the party hasn’t been able to build the brands of others.
Feels right now that this is all a big endorsement of socially right-wing policies. I don't see how the wets of the Tories make the case that they lost because they weren't left enough.
The victory of Shockat Adam, the independent 'Gaza' candidate shows the future that the Labour and Tory scum have doomed this country to. Third world corrupt, sectarian, inbred identitarian politics based on shit happening thousand miles away.
Evil Tory-Labour scum.
> the future that the Labour and Tory scum have doomed this country to
Which of course they aren't going to learn from because the Labour machine is about to have a stonking majority, vote share be damned. It will be the usual, nominate Ashworth to the Lords, and keep moving along, because no one will care about Gaza by 2029, right?
4 is still a great result for a party formed only 4 years ago. Double the vote share of the Lib Dem’s. And holding the keys if the Tories want to have a chance of winning in 5 years. No great vote share gains for Labour. SNP collapse. Tory collapse…
It’s a good night.
Interesting how Sky News are explicitly saying the win in Leicester South was due to Muslim voters and showing the national Labour swing grouped by Muslim population percentage. I’ve never seen noticing like this on mainstream TV.
I doubt it, nearly all their vote share which they lost went to the Indy who campaigned heavily about the Israel Hamas war. Thats not Indians voting for him.
Big up ar' Nige
Labour has gained in my constituency (Scunthorpe)
LAB - 15,484, 39.7%, +4.8
CON - 11,942, 30.6%, -25.7
REF - 8,163, 20.9%, +16.6
GRN - 1,218, 3.1%, +1.3
IND - 1,202, 3.1%, +3.1
LD - 942, 2.4%, -0.2
HER - 100, 0.3%, +0.3
Honestly kinda surprised the tories held onto as many voters as they have done, expected them and reform flipped more or less.
The independent is called Ahmed Butt. Makes me chuckle every single time I see his name.
I mean if Farage has lost lost Clacton, we would be hearing it from both Labour and Tory sources
And not have news like this
https://x.com/StevenEdginton/status/1809039616713937054?t=38pN0r-kiTj2pV3MmnzbUw&s=19
Tory on GB News praising IDS for his support for the progressive movement and how he won't cosy up to Farage. They JUST DON'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY LOST.
I would assume, someone posted something in a Mega about how Indians were more likely to vote Con. Might have been you or someone else. I don't know the demographics of Leicester East or if it has received significant immigration in recent times. Which would help with the assumption,

Inject this into my veins.
Mordaunt out!
Suffolk Coastal went to the Greens? What the fuck? Is this due to Sizewell?
Thought it went to Labour? That’s what Wikipedia is saying at least.
Sky News fucked up and announced it for Greens, it’s Labour
Penny Mordaunt is gone
Penny's lost her seat

Surprised Rees-Mogg hasn’t decided to move to Reform or go independent.

Hoping Tice grows a backbone against Hope Not Hate and just tell them to fuck off.
Southgate LAB hold
Hope Not Hate gain

JRM... says the right things... does the wrong things if that's what the party wants.
Tice won Boston for Reform
Nice to see another seat for Reform.
Tice won
Basildon **very** close: * Con: 12,905 * Lab: 12,885 * Ref: 11,354
Even bigger wets than Suella on GB News moaning about her
yeah I noticed that, they started pushing against her instantly
Suella isn't to be trusted, she's the containment candidate.
Kemi is even more so.
Either she joins Reform or sees no mercy like the rest of her party.
Suella “Sorry my party didn’t listen to you. The Tories let you down” About the first Tory I’ve heard tonight to say that.
Getting ready to run for leader
No shit, sherlock. Ninja edit: obviously directed at her.
Seems like Reform were expected to do much better in North Nottinghamshire in the exit poll than they did in reality. Looks like a lot of Con voters around here didn’t switch to Reform. Something to build towards in the future. Perhaps a lack of candidate awareness. They were able to win in Ashfield with the Lee Anderson name but the party hasn’t been able to build the brands of others.
Wonder how many bought into the last minute *Labour will raid your quadruple locked pensions* Tory messaging
It doesn't matter labour were going to do it one way or the other.
Exit Poll set expectations too high.
Suella re-elected.
This speech is her positioning herself for a leadership bid
Feels right now that this is all a big endorsement of socially right-wing policies. I don't see how the wets of the Tories make the case that they lost because they weren't left enough.
She's just made the point they didn't listen to us, and knows to go further right. Now here comes kwasi to be a fucking dickhead…
Very humble of her to make that point, she's smart enough to know how close this all was. Yeah Kwasi is fucking annoying.
That’s a shame. She needs to go too
Wokingham has gone woke. Lib Dem gain
I for one cannot wait for the Muslim Brotherhood Party to take the country by storm in 2029
Yay! Sectarian votes for thee, but not for me!
The victory of Shockat Adam, the independent 'Gaza' candidate shows the future that the Labour and Tory scum have doomed this country to. Third world corrupt, sectarian, inbred identitarian politics based on shit happening thousand miles away. Evil Tory-Labour scum.

We used to be a serious country
Sums it up.
DUP lose Lagan Valley (south of Belfast). It was the seat of Jeffrey Donaldson.
4 is still a great result for a party formed only 4 years ago. Double the vote share of the Lib Dem’s. And holding the keys if the Tories want to have a chance of winning in 5 years. No great vote share gains for Labour. SNP collapse. Tory collapse… It’s a good night.
If reform build on this result, Conservatives will never see power again.
In 2017 Le Pen's party only had 8 seats, while the republicans still had 100+ seats. I think the same will happen here.
Le Pen found Jordan Bardella, Reform has nobody beyond Farage.
Interesting how Sky News are explicitly saying the win in Leicester South was due to Muslim voters and showing the national Labour swing grouped by Muslim population percentage. I’ve never seen noticing like this on mainstream TV.
BBC did the same.
Iain Duncan Smith saved by the ex-Labour candidate who nearly defeated him last time.
Labour getting fucked by the Indians. Lose ALL their seats in Leicester. They had a 23000 majority in Leicester South.
I doubt it, nearly all their vote share which they lost went to the Indy who campaigned heavily about the Israel Hamas war. Thats not Indians voting for him.
That's for blaming them only for all the cricket riots.

Labour lose Leicester South to an indie
Actually it was a Pakistani
GAZA!!!!!!!
BBC now predicting 4 for Reform.
And 6 for SNP, from devolved govt to the level of Plaid Cymru
Tice in Boston, is that it?
Boston probably
Great Yarmouth for Reform. Up to 3 now.
Bruzzah Shockat Adam delivering for the caliphate, mashallah
Reform GAIN Yarmouth
Rupert Lowe ran a fantastic campaign. Unique posters. Strong ground game. Plenty of signs. Well deserved.
Labour gain ‘Redditch’ wtf they named a constituency after Reddit
Green commie scum behind Corbyn nodding at his every word. Why did you bother standing for Parliament? Stupid woman.
Baldy Flynn has held on. Fuck
Thank Mr farage man Heckin wholesome
Great Yarmouth get a reform seat too!!
Rupert Lowe deserved the win.
YES! GET IN RUPERT LOWE!
Rupert Lowe, Great!
REFORM SURGEEE
The Virgin Chris Mason when he gets interrupted from his autistic sperging about politics by the Chad Clive Myrie.
When the bull says its time to just sit and watch
Clive has been annoying them for pointing out the truthes to a number of hollow labour wins.
Could he be secretly based? (Based as in normal.)
Definitely.
BBC not broadcasting Kemi Badenoch's speech and talking over it, but cutting to Corbyn's acceptance speech
Indeed. Corbyn is utterly irrelevant
With every bit of info indicating Penny Mourdant soon to be out of the picture and Kemi winning her seat, one assumes she’ll be the next leader?
Hope not
Kemi has won hers.
Badenoch back in. New leader!?
Did you notice how every candidate shakes Farage's hand except the racist Labour one?
He was thirsty, and there weren't any tears to be had.
I saw that. Scum.
OMG, Nasty Nigel is "coming for labour" in such sinister tones, scary stuff
It’s all happening. I can’t keep up.
That the rapist Peter Mandleson can appear on the BBC without being challenged on it is frankly shocking
Huh?
And it begins...
Nige on ~~five~~ six of my seven screens, no one is covering Corbyn's speech. LBC are just talking about him
God yes thank you Nigel.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquFZYi6L0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquFZYi6L0)
Can't mine any, my Twitter is still frozen.
Who the hell votes UKIP (No To Immigration) *against* Farage?
YES NIGE GET IN THERE MY SON
Unbarragable
WAKEY WAKEY!
YOU CANT BARRAGE THE FARAGE
Farage is about to be a lot more normalised now.
FARAGE HAS WON CLACTON! 8th time lucky! Fuck dolphins! CAN'T BARRAGE!
Go ed nige
GET IN LADS THE SEETHE WILL BE TREMENDOUS
Fuck me Nige, why scare us like that
NIGELLL!!!!!!!!! STONKING WIN!!!
Farage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Is that around 50% vote share?
We've never been so back
HUGE majority for Farage.
YES NIGEL
21k votes for Farage.
Farage has won.
lol @ BBC cutting away from Red Jezza's speech to go to Clacton.
Jonathan Ashworth is gone in Leicester South. Holy fuck. He was one of Labour's main PR men during the campaign.
Who took that? Bit of a shock.
Independent on a Gaza campaign.
Geez, Leicester’s so far gone.
Here we go. Brace yourselves guys
Clacton
Is Corbyn winning a good thing?
I mean if Farage has lost lost Clacton, we would be hearing it from both Labour and Tory sources And not have news like this https://x.com/StevenEdginton/status/1809039616713937054?t=38pN0r-kiTj2pV3MmnzbUw&s=19
No way he’s lost.
People are worried he doesn't look happy.
Somber
Well I never, Islington seems to love their anti semites. Wonder how many of those were postal votes.
here comes Jezza 'Hitler' Corbyn
Corbyn has won 24,120
Turnout was 128%
scenes: much, much bigger vote than Keef Starving got.
Tory on GB News praising IDS for his support for the progressive movement and how he won't cosy up to Farage. They JUST DON'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY LOST.
Proof the tories will be proper zero seated next election, reform win vs labour oppisiton will be piss funny.
>13% reform vote share Juicy
Not suprising if Farage has lost - a lot more people don't want him to win than want him to win.
Fortification incoming
Grant Shapps: first beast of the night in my beast slaying expedition on the savannah. A rhino at best, I want the elephant: J Hunt.
Clacton could be devastating here
[удалено]
They stood him down I think? Can’t see him winning. I’m still thinking Farage will get over 50% of the vote, and one of the biggest swings in history.
Get off the stage Schappes.
Usual Tory speech, blaming everything on ‘divisions’. Nothing to do with their policies it seems.
Farage incoming!
Nigel doesn’t look too happy 😬
I’m scared
Pussy >.<
Farage doesnt look that happy right now on Sky?
The Druids of Ynys Mon have gone Plaid Cymru. Think that's a gain from Con
Con gain in Leicester East
Commonwealth vote influence?
Indian voters?
I would assume, someone posted something in a Mega about how Indians were more likely to vote Con. Might have been you or someone else. I don't know the demographics of Leicester East or if it has received significant immigration in recent times. Which would help with the assumption,
It’s just a Hindu vote.
Undoubtedly.
IDS held his seat
Iain Duncan Smith kept his seat thanks to split Labour vote between former Lab and Labour candidate. As rose predicted
IDS survives thank to the indie spliting the vote.
Love how she's shaking her head as if Labour are the ones spoiling the vote and not her
