He went with "We have campaigned as Changed Labour, and we will govern as Changed Labour". That's less a paraphrase than a direct lift (swap changed for new). I've said it before on here, but I'd have Blair back involved in a heartbeat. Brown too. I hope they both have the ear of Starmer cos he'll need all the advice he can get from Labour people that have been there and done it - there aren't many.

"That's Mogg-zit. That's my Portillo moment. He's been battered, and he's deserved it. He's no idea what he's inflicted on people." Burnham on Rees-Mogg. 👍

Canny line. Shame it's delivered in the voice of the softest dalek in the universe, but you can't have everything.

Still 15k people voted for him mind. Walk them all off a cliff.

Fucking get in!

The bloke next to Rees Mogg. HE'S GONE!

Rees Mogg. Please let us have this one.

Everyone in twitter says Labour has hit 316 seats. Incredibly the BBC has them on 316. They've had a fucking nightmare tonight.

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

She's fucking class, I'm pleased she's hung on. Hopefully Mahmood has too - she's got the mental tiktok lawyer independent to go up against - he likes Andrew Tate, so aye. TEAM. MAHMOOD!

He's not thick, Hunt. By any measure, he probably should have lost his seat, but he just went back to his constituency and knocked on doors for 6 weeks. Did fuck all as part of the national campaign, and it's paid off.

Comfortably.

Aye Sunak has won here.

Hunt wins. Bastards!

Sunak and Hunt landing at the same time! Imagine if they both go. Oosh!

Hunt coming up. HOWAY let's have this one for the good lads!

Fucking hell, Streeting hung on by just 528 votes. There might be some surprise losses coming for Labour in London here.

The BBC has quietly revised back down it's forecast for Conservatives to 144 - it went 131, up to 154, and now back to 144. It'll come down again, I think. Labour is back to where it started.

If Farage won, that's when we'd really be fucked.

The Reform candidate openly wondering how counting works as he might be about to become a member of Parliament pretty much sums them up. @Sharp

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.

Peston (based on assessment of piles of votes) is suggesting that Truss might have lost.
