Welcome to Election night. A little over 2 hours until the polling stations close and the race begins.
This will be an election night chat thread. Anyone in the UK , regardless of your political persuasion , is welcome to join in. The only rule is that everyone is polite to each other. People may disagree but anyone resorting to trolling , name calling or being abusive will be asked to refrain , leave the thread or even be blocked.
So , inspired by @ArtieKat , have you got your election night drink and nibbles. I've got mine

@ArtieKat The misogynistic racists!! The patriarchy continues!!!
The ONLY choice is a woman of colour. I nominate the Abbopotomus- for the shits and giggles.

@ArtieKat he'll make the position worse. Stronger remainer than JC, educated lawyer from the South. If the issue is lack of connection with Labour working class leave voters in the North & Midlands Keir is not the man. I fail to see who is, on the front bench the only leaver was JC although he was forced to not be that by the Labour Party majority.
@SW-User Are you watching Emily Maitlis on the BBC News Channel? .... Some interesting guests and comments

@ArtieKat no I can't watch it at the moment for a lifelong Labour voter, ex party member, union man and activist this is worse than 1983. We're destined to 20 years out of power. I'll not see another Labour government in my lifetime.
@SW-User I always wonder about what would have happened if John Smith had survived. Could he have carried out what Blair did. Interesting hearing Jonathan Powell now
@ArtieKat Yes, of course. I knew I had seen his face before. Oh, speaking of the war criminals staff, have you seen Alistair Campbell getting owned by Piers Morgan this morning?
@ChampagneAngel 9 years of austerity the appalling record of May a leader with a track record of being incapable of not lying including to the Queen in his first few weeks in power and they win a landslide.... 🤔 Other than buggering the queen at the state opening I have to say they look currently untouchable like the Thatcher years as she decimated many industries putting thousands & thousands out of work and working class tory voters continued to support her for a few tax breaks and cheap shares in businesses they effectively already owned.
