“A portillo moment refers to any senior figure who unexpectedly loses their seat”

“We’re expecting a number of portillo moments”
🤯

Putting portaits up of 8 Tory leaders and then only discussing 3 of them :(

The real question is who will gain Sunaks seat, Niko Omilana or Count Binface?

I'm in Sunak's constituency. My polling station was absolutely rammed at 9.30 with queues down the street. It's never been anything like that busy in the last 42 years. I expect he'll keep his seat but that 30k majority may be down to a couple of thousand.

Really hoping Jacob Rees Mogg gets kicked out 😅

[metlinematt]

Come on Britain. Let's get the Tories into third place 💪🏻

[ragalyiakos]

Please, please, PLEASE have Jacob Rees-Mogg lose his seat! I want to see that smug, entitled, arrogant smile he perpetually has on disappear from his face.

[SirBradiator]

If we are expecting it, is it a portillo moment by that definition?

[oliverleonard]

Jacob Rees-Mogg being removed by the Lib Dems would be a classic moment.

[rsantana]

Sunak losing his seat would be AMAZING

As an American, my fear is that Labour will forget how lucky they are and not immediately pass proportional representation and single transferable voting. Unlike in the USA they can do this by statute, while in the USA we'd have to amend the constitution to get rid of entrenched GOP minority rule. Starmer needs to remember this election's result were caused by a once in a century perfect alignment of the planets.

Aussie here. We had a sitting Prime Minister lose his seat during an election (John Howard 2007). It was awesome 🎉

[KSzkodaGames]

Let's keep it simple, every Tory seat would be gone

[lildozen]

Putting James Cleverly in the Braintree constituency is just taking the piss

[cardwitch]

Well done for putting the “Chancellor” before the “Hunt” — many journalists have tripped up over that. Sometimes it felt like the Conservatives gave him ministries that begin with a ‘c’ purely as a joke 😂

[djtomoy]

I always thought a Portillo Moment was when you soiled yourself while eating a large Italian beef sandwich

[mazdamaniac]

Count Binface for the win in Richmond & Northallerton.
Sunak needs to get Binned! 🗑

[captainufo]

I'm starting to get a little scared of these landslide predictions. Not because I wouldn't like to see the Tories kicked in the teeth, but because I fear so many people think it's a done deal and don't vote, and we end up with a hung Parliament

My immediate boss in Westminster some years back was Portillo’s principal private secretary in the 90s and headed his office for several years. He said that hands down he was the nicest politician he had ever worked for (and he had worked for many some of whom he was less than complimentary about)

[VaucluseVanguard]

Will poor old Michael Portillo lose this epitaph and be replaced by a ‘Sunak moment’.
