I was the first to vote in our local polling station for the third consecutive time running. Not that it’ll make any difference as I’m sure the loony greens will get in here. Looking forward to seeing the chaos unfold overnight.

Only here once

I'm pleased Reform haven't done quite as well as expected. I'm also glad the SNP have taken a hit.

Think Liz Truss well deserved to lose her seat.

Perhaps Rishi could try a Trump and not move out.

That’s an already implemented Tory policy, so blame them first.

Seem, to remember there has been a prison population problem for many years.

Build more - but no one wants one near them - like all the other things .

Play fair @Chillidoggy, that was a long sentence for Pete and he was probably knackered after typing it all out.

In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!

And so the lies begin.Rachel Reeves today said thad the UK economy grown at the average rate of the OECD economies in the last 14years our economy would be 140bn.larger and 58 bn extra tax revenues.

Compared to g7 group of nations,which is a better comparison, we have performed better . Matching that analysis Reeves would have less money. No actual policy in the speech

She also said she has inherited the worst financial position ever - but forgot about the last labour government plunging the country into massive debt, selling the gold off cheaply, fooking over all the private pensions and then leaving a note on the treasury desk joking that they'd spent the lot and the cupboard was bare.

I do believe Reeves has the potential to be a great chancellor, but she needs to drop the bullshit, and play the hand she has very well, now. Today.

I heard Yvette cooper going on about the Tory government again. Not sure if she heard it’s her problem now, so get on with it. She has always had a mouth on her.

They can't do what they need to do in 5 days as it is...

Almost the end of week 1 of them getting in to power and already I am getting jittery...

The Nasty Party is still licking its wounds. But don't worry, they'll be back with their bile in a jiffy.
