[Faddy]

Lib Dems beating UKIP in Newcastle.

 

[Izuna]

BOOOO


lmao

 

[offshore]

Bloody hell, "Nick Cott" and "Steve Kyte"... don't wanna be saying those names when you're drunk.

 

[Par Score]

Ok, this is important to determine the accuracy of the exit poll.

 

[Mac_Lane]

15 thousand majority for Labour in Newcastle. Not a Brit here, is that a good sign ?

 

[Randomizer]

From my SLAB pal. Mhari Black in trouble.

Shame, she is one of the good ones.

what's the swing?

 

[fenners]

Supposedly only 10 seats were exit polled in Scotland. so /shruggie

Just heard that as well.

 

[AuthenticM]

congrats to Chi Onwurah.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Laura Kuenssberg's grandfather was my Nan's GP for a while when she lived in Edinburgh. No idea why that's relevant, just a weird factoid.

 

[Stead Fast]

Lib Dems beating UKIP in Newcastle.

Just a shame about Green.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

15 thousand majority for Labour in Newcastle. Not a Brit here, is that a good sign ?

Labour won massively there previously. That said, their majority went up by over 4000 votes.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

you're kidding =/

 

[Wes]

Sunderland relegated. Newcastle promoted.

 

[Meadows]

That's not a very big bump considering what you'd expect in a city center

 

[weekev]

Labour make gains from Tories in first count. Let's hope we keep this up.

 

[whyamihere]

15 was:

Newcastle upon Tyne Central

Labour: 55.0%
Tory: 18.9%

 

[Par Score]

No government is better than a bad government.

Perfection. Get that in the thread title.

 

[Tregard]

If you think the tories are bad wait until they are beholden to the DUP

If the DUP end up playing kingmaker I'm emigrating ASAP

 

[liquidtmd]

UKIP down 11% in Newcastle - I'll take it!

 

[Stead Fast]

15 thousand majority for Labour in Newcastle. Not a Brit here, is that a good sign ?

It was a safe seat, plus it's worth noting since you aren't a Brit, this is Newcastle central, so out of several seats that make up the whole city, this is but one.

 

[Mac_Lane]

Labour won massively there previously. That said, their majority went up by over 4000 votes.

Thanks ! I hope this sets the trend for the rest of the night.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

[Ghost]

Exit poll is way wrong on Newcastle, 5% wrong...

 

[Spaghetti]

UKIP candidate didn't even bother taking the stage in Newcastle.

 

[Carl]

Not as good for Labour as exit poll expected, oh dear

 

[Tacitus_]

So much for strong and stable.

 

[TM94]

YEEEEEEESSSSS SO PROUD OF MY CITY TOON ARMY

 

[Jumeira]

Just a shame about Green.

YEah

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

I agree. I think a lot of people are sick of transparent character attack politics. People want hope not fear mongering.

I'm an American and am not particularly informed about UK politics, but my god you guys have some of the worst drive-by mafia media I've ever seen. I know we have Fox News here, but there was a paper that straight up called for Corbyn to be killed. Shit is fucking nuts.

 

[Anung]

I am literally eating popcorn right now.

 

[Rubbish King]

aw yiss

 

[HandsomeCharles]

No government is better than a bad government.

Holy shit, that's amazing!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Is it happening? Been readin people flip out at work. Im american living the Trump hellscape so its been nuts to see Europe flip itself. I guess the Orange warning light worked.

 

[Charles Brandon]

BBC makes Newcastle indicative of a smaller than predicted swing to Labour

 

[Empty]

labour not over-performing in safe seats is good surely

 

[whyamihere]

@britainelects Newcastle upon Tyne Central:
Lab: 64.9% (+9.9)
Con: 24.6% (+5.7)
LDem: 4.9% (-1.4)
UKIP: 4.0% (-10.9)

wow

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I like how the labour winner in Newcastle shook hands with everyone but the tory.

 

[Sikamikanico]

This is going to be such a long night. Come on Jezza!

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Nearly +10% turnout compared to 2015 in Newcastle, wow.

 

[Jezbollah]

Swing + 9.9% Lab, +5.7% Con, -10.9% UKIP LUL

In line with the Exit Poll..

Thanks for the information ! And I also found it odd such a big city only had one seat in the House

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Shit, not as big a swing as we hoped.

 

[Black Republican]

hung parliament it is then, heh, its been a while
