Well that was pretty wonderful all round. Tories out. Labour in. And I must admit a tear came into my eye seeing Carol Linforth give Keir a hug in Downing Street. She was there in 1997 and she is there is see it all over again. Beating heart of a Party that lost its way and has come back to where it needs to be for 🇬🇧 Going to be a long hard road but he was right when he said it feels like a weight has lifted from the country’s shoulders
It is the honour of my life to have been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Economic growth was the Labour Party’s mission. It is now a national mission.
Let’s get to work.
Political earthquake. Exit poll shows Labour on 410, Tories, 131, LibDems 61, Reform 13, SNP 10, Plaid 4, Green 2. So much to discuss on ITV through the night
Exit poll suggests Labour have won a landslide victory with an overall majority of around 170 seats. The Conservatives are likely to record their lowest ever number of seats and share of the vote in a general election since 1832

This is massive
Supreme Court rules WCs can sued for nuisance or trespass for dumping sewage even if “There has been no negligence or deliberate misconduct”, by the WC
That opens the way for 1,000s of claims by fishing clubs, swimmers, riparian owners against WCs. WOW just WOW!

So far the govt seems to have had a free pass to what is the greatest theft of public money in the history of the U.K
It is profiteering from misery…
exposing the rabid greed of the Tory Party that has destroyed the country!

Everything else aside, it’s obvious just how much Starmer absolutely fucking DESPISES Rishi Sunak.
That is something that Starmer has in common with the rest of the country.

Cutting the welfare bill to cut taxes for the well off, Sunak says that like it isn’t actually the most galling and contemptible shit imaginable.
Four million kids in poverty. Public services in ruins.
Sunak is an absolute cunt, frankly.
