UK Politics @sh.itjust.works The moment Liz Truss looses her seat

Liz Truss lost her seat because voters moved right, not because they thought Labour was a better option.

Let's celebrate today, but from tomorrow onwards, we need to address the far right lunatics head on.

  Unfrotunately. Global climate change, and the inevitable economic crisis this is causing, is fertile breeding ground for populist right wing politicians promising illusory simple solutions of hate.

Beautiful. Looks like Reform split the right wing vote and cost her the seat. Even more beautiful!

Now I need to look up if Badenoch lost hers too.

Edit: dang.

  Well they might have suspected based on exit polls but they definitely can't have known.

Well, at least she beat Official Monster Raving Loony Party. That's a win, I guess.

- Not for the British people, no it isn't.

I'm no fan of first-past-the-post systems, but I will admit that this was a beautiful moment.

- They had to drag her out of the toilets to even get her on the podium.

The best clip on the Internet today.

I've been binging on election followup podcasts while cleaning the house. There were many seats where Tory+Reform would have beat the Labour candidate.

The consensus seemed to be that the Tories are going to lick their wounds, then push further right to gain back Reform voters instead of trying to tack to center and peel away from Labour.

But what of the pig markets?! Won't somebody think about the pig markets!
