I expect the other half will stay up to talk to her parents in the US of A as of course it's independent day. We will be flying both the union flag and the stars and stripes on that day...

Who ever thought we would celebrate a conservative loss, strange times indeed. The darkest night is before the dawn.

Farage has turned a dull Labour victory lap into something more interesting.
This is going to be the "PR election".
If he gets millions of votes again, along with the Libdems and SNP, I can see Labour being forced into a vote on PR.

I think I'll stay up for this one. It looks like an unpredictable result.

Much as I dread the instant destruction likely to be wrought by a Labour administration I think it's better than the slow death presided over by the Tories.
At least we'll get the pain over with and hopefully the establishment will destroy itself.
And then perhaps we can actually rebuild better.

Or if not at least we can finally accept that we don't live in a democracy. |

I can't join unfortunately. We're having a Coventry 4 EU party, hopefully to celebrate the end of this travesty of a government.

I will stay up for a bit, but we are having new floors fitted on Friday, so we need to be up early to clear the rooms.

In sharp contrast with Conservative party warnings over the dangers of a large Labour majority, analysts in the City of London said the prospect of a resounding mandate for Starmer’s party could secure Britain’s “safe haven” status among investors in an increasingly volatile world.
After failing to close the gap in opinion polls during the election campaign, Rishi Sunak made a last-ditch warning that a Starmer “supermajority” would “bankrupt people in every generation”.
However, City analysts said a Labour landslide could pave the way for global investment in Britain after years of political and economic uncertainty since the 2016 Brexit referendum under the Tories, which had clouded the prospects for international investors. |
