I'm just going to land this here. Two years ago I was in a desperate place, I reached out and for some reason you were there and really helped me. We don't see eye to eye on everything Rayvin but you really helped saved my life that night. I am forever grateful, you matter. I hope Denmark works out well for you.

A great night. I’ve been up since 3. The only downside to the whole event was PL’s fridge which is set to star in Outbreak 2 alongside Dustin Hoffman.

Btw, the young lad at work didn't vote. Another bloke who didn't say what he was doing and is originally from laahndan told us today he changed his mind a few times on the way to vote but ended up voting Tory as 'its better the devil you know'. Also said if you think it's bad now you'll be in for a surprise when these get in. The IQ in that place goes up and down about 40% every time I walk in and out of the place.

Stealing a line from somebody else on a recent podcast, but having a 44 year old grandmother who was pregnant at 16, and living with a mam that couldn't read, appointed Deputy PM is not nothing. There'll be loads of people looking at that today and thinking "fucking hell, that could be me", who would NEVER have thought that before.

Fucking hell, my seat just went Labour by 39 votes. 🥳 I love it when a tactical vote comes together!

Reform isn't the answer to anything other than frustration. I get that you aren't happy with.... things..... But Nigel Farage doesn't have answers, he just needles away at people's grievances. His manifesto (no waiting lists for the NHS!) was something a class of 8 year olds would come up with if you asked them what would be a good thing.... Don't worry about how you deliver it, just list some things you like. Totally undeliverable in the real world. He's a protest vote, and you're entitled to vote for whoever you want. But the bloke will deliver fuck all and just stoke trouble. It's all he's ever done.

Cletus has just left. When he turned up I had a smart electric meter that could transmit a signal and a smart gas meter that couldnt. I now have a smart electric meter AND a smart gas meter that can't transmit a signal. Which was well worth the 2.5 hours sat propping my eyelids open.

Congratulations. I really hope it will work out for you. Obviously there is very little chance of you rejoicing the EU in foreseeable time. It would make things a lot easier for me but especially you but this dinghy has sailed a long time ago. I hope that you will weather the storm of uncertainty. Labour won’t fix everything that went wrong in the last 14 years over night. But you need to be able to keep the lunatics in check. Reform is just people voting for Farage atm iyam. If this tosser is gone the party will have nothing to offer, just with what happened to ukip. I am especially pleased that I know that I used the season ticket of your future secretary for education even though she isn’t able to park a car. I wouldn’t mind her become secretary of transportation though. She can’t do worse than Chris Grayling to get into the house of lords

"Your majesty, I'm here to resign as prime minister." "Why's that, old chap?" "Errr.... there's been a general election. My party got hammered." "Funny....... Because that's not what I'm hearing on the doorstep.......Lolz!"

It's gonna be much easier to ignore politics very soon imo. The first time a cabinet member does something dodgy and is having to resign the next day, you'll feel a slight loosening of the knot in your shoulders. Loads of stuff that you used to just be able to expect from people in government that we've all forgot was just taken for granted is gonna come back, cos it's the easiest way in the world for Starmer to underline that this lot are different. We've all got addicted to being enraged by the people in charge, and I think and hope that that will be the first very tangible thing to change. Then hopefully people the bigger stuff will come. I've had a couple of hours kip so I'm gonna watch the walk to Downing Street and the speech. 👍

I rocked up in cheltenham at the back end of the 80s, two years later the tories lose the seat they've held for 18 years. move to monmouth and 5 months later it's goodbye tories after 19 years. I am the tory slayer. just a footnote,absolutely delighted that cheltenham has got rid of alex chalk, absolute thundercunt of a man.

Just getting ready to meet my new mate 😀

I’ve just watched Starmer’s arrival at No. 10 and his speech. ( on a bit of a delay due it being Ms. Fist’s birthday today). I got a wee bit emotional if I’m honest, thinking about the choices my Dad had to make at the end of his life, whilst Johnson and Sunak partied. Very likely sleep-deprivation kicking in too, Off for a wee kip, then birthday/victory party later.

Leaving aside the deathly dull analysis of whether winning 412+ seats in a whopping landslide is a good or bad result for Labour ( ffs!) my thoughts this morning are so much more optimistic than a year ago. Just having an incoming Government that isn’t filled with privately educated, self serving cunts, led by wankers who thought the rules they came up with didn’t apply to them. Having politicians committed to improving the actual things that impact the QoL of most of us, instead of thinking that sending a few unfortunates to Rwanda is what we need. I’m looking forward to seeing some dull, functional and practical politics over the next few years, instead of the fucking clownshoes we’ve had.

I'm sure that's the title of an old country & western song.

Would have been 19 if not for PL

@PaddockLad

If the country is fucked it’s because of arseholes like you voting for brexit.

Get tae fuck fridge fascist

This you?

I knew that and commented on it earlier tonight. I need to go to bed

Look in the mirror mate That’s where every single one of your problems lies. Your life is fuckin shit (apparently?) because of the choices you make and how easily led you are by people who want to exploit your grievances. But I imagine you’re too phenomenally fuckin stupid to understand any of that…

Rarely has a username been less apt.

Reform, ladies and gentlemen. We’re not racists, but if you’re not white and English, fuck off

On reflection, whilst the polls indicate the Tory implosion rather than the Labour explosion, I think Labour have played a very straight bat during this election. No gaffes, kept all sides quiet. There's been no big statement promises but I hope Starmer just gets on with the job of fixing the big holes in the country in the same way that he's tidied up the Labour party since 2019. I'm all for dull politics for the next 4 or 5 years if it means we move away from the populist nonsense that is gaining traction on the other side. It's been mentioned that the new government will be the most working class cabinet EVER therefore I hope we see a new kind of politics which GENUINELY focuses on bottom up rather than top down.

Greens now on the same number of seats as Reform. But we've heard nowt about that.

Yeah…. It’s nothing like 97 though, our generation could remember the fag end of 1970s Labour through the winter of discontent when we were kids but to all intents and purposes we’d known nothing but Tory rule. So that was fuckin amazing even though I couldn’t force myself to vote for Blair. I liked Ashdown and subsequently Kennedy and I’d stand by all the times I voted for them. But yeah. We’re no longer ruled by a gang of feckless fuckin semi criminals just looking to line their and their friends’ nests so it’s all good 😊

Truss coming soon. I've had one hour sleep and I've got some daft cunt coming out to install a smart meter this morning. He rang last night to let me know he was coming and he clearly has some..... issues. Ten minutes later the phone goes again and it's him again repeating the exact conversation we just had. I goes "Mate, I've just spoken to you. Are you still coming here first thing". Full of apologies. But aye, I've got that to look forward to. Smart meter installed upside down is probably the best I can hope for.

Of all the little moments of joy through tonight, seeing Kuennsberg as bitter as a dumped and divorced bingo-wing wife is glorious. She’s fucking hating her job

Somebody’s overdosed on kamagra

PAISLEY DOWN! What PL says when he takes his shirt off.

And take that fuckin sword with you 😀

Can't say I'm surprised, Great Yarmouth its Twatistan.

Yep, SHAPPS DOWN. GET THE FUCK IN! The inventor of the supermajority becomes it's first big victim.
