You did it! This was the tactical voting election. The Tories are out – and by a landslide.
As the final results come in, it's great news for tactical voters. 🧵
@Moai214527262 That's a screenshot from a different site but yes, we didn't get every constituency right! There are fewer narrow Labour-Lib Dem gaps here though for next time.

The election has not quite destroyed the Tory party as we hoped, though their result is on track to be the worst for centuries.
The Tory infighting and leadership contest over the coming weeks may finish them off as the party heads for a possible split.
Thank you so much for your support for https://t.co/v0t9KMBb26! Millions of people have looked up their tactical vote this week alone and it will have made a difference far beyond seats we have highlighted here, especially in close contests.
The danger of Farage's party is clear. They may have mostly cost the Tories seats this time by splitting the right wing vote, but a rash of strong second places puts them in position to win seats next time as well as possibly byelections. We must keep fighting this new far right.
When the exit poll dropped at 10pm last night, it looked like Reform were on track to get 13 seats. Thankfully that prediction has not come to pass, though sadly Farage won Clacton and Lee Anderson held Ashfield, among others.
The Green Party won their four target seats, keeping Brighton Pavilion, winning Bristol Central and also picking up two rural seats from the Conservatives.
13,800 people looked up their tactical vote for Bristol Central with us, and the Greens won by just over 10,000.
Elsewhere on our top-ten target list, Penny Mordaunt – who had been tipped as the next Tory leader – is out in Portsmouth North. Grant Shapps and Andrea Jenkyns lost to Labour. And the Lib Dems unseated Gillian Keegan in Chichester.
https://t.co/v0t9KMBb26's #1 top target seat was Jacob Rees-Mogg's constituency of North East Somerset and Hanham, where our supporters crowdfunded to distribute tens of thousands of leaflets.
We are delighted that this work paid off, with Rees-Mogg losing his seat to Labour.
✔️ Labour have won the election by a long way.
✔️ The Lib Dems scored their best result since they were the Liberal party in the 1920s.
✔️ The Greens won all four of their target seats.
✔️ And Plaid Cymru got a record result to make it a Tory wipeout in Wales.

#ToriesIntoThird is trending today – and that's our aim. Tactical voting can push the Tories into third place.
That would mean a Labour government, with the Lib Dems as the official opposition.
It's within reach – if enough people vote tactically.
