"It was a terrible night for the Tories." To be fair, it hasn't been a great 6 years for the UK either. Johnson? Truss? Brexit? Pretty terrible for us indeed.

[colincharlton]

What did they expect? massive win..can this pathetic government actually do anything correct..

[kindmulberry]

I think its the bare minimum tbh, now we need a general election

[blakefitzgerald]

I'm not sure train wreck adequately sums up the present political situation

[Daleyeeah]

Has Rishi De toxified the brand??? Nope. He got another fine. For not wearing a seatbelt. Second criminal offence while in the cabinet/Pm!

[Paul-ebjp]

A bad night for the Tories is a good night for the country.

[rkbrown]

Vote 'other' ! We might then actually get what we want instead of an agenda dictated to us.

[geoffwatts]

Well the photo ID didn't work in his favour. Sunak couldn't even get that right, the cons Party, complete disaster as usual.

[kelly]

Cons or Liebour either one is a disaster.
Sheep never learn.

[jsd]

If the tories think that was a bad night, , , wait until the general election!!!

[Awarebynature]

good glad it was a bad night for the Tories its been an awful few years for us people with them in charge

[anthonyclegg]

Sunak said he's making significant gains. LMFAO.

[thedoctor]

The best thing that the prime minister can do is call a general election and we can get rid of the crook

[henners]

Now the electoral systems needs reform

[craigboden]

Everyone needs to literally demand that we never vote for political business gangsters again and instead have a choice of people like scientists, engineers, philosophers and the like. People who strive for the advancement and betterment of humanity as a whole rather than those that strive for money and power. Until then we will be stuck in a cycle of living for them instead of ourselves and everyone as a whole.

[kamaljeetkaur]

Not able to control inflation not brave enough to pay people what they worth

[minidigger]

This proves one very important issue people power can make a difference

[sirhenrysimmerson]

Whatever party wins we all still lose and nothing will change, if voting actually does anything people need to stop doing it.

[stephanosuk]

I know it's to much to ask but look at voter turnout (extremely low, 22% in my ward) then look at 'Other' parties on your graphic winning more than labour and the Dems combined.
This is a country sick of the three main parties.

[trevorsomers]

Labor need a decent leader. Starmer is a Bell End
