This may be the heaviest turnout in awhile. High Turnout bode well for Farage’s Reform Party?
Farage will take Clacton easily and Reform should send a decent cadre of Reform MPs to Westminster, but sadly a Labour landslide is inevitable. Some people still can’t move past the old dichotomy of “vote Labour to get rid of the Tories” and vice versa. British voters are going to have to learn a hard, brutal lesson over the next 5 years before Farage will see his chance to be voted into Number 10.
The pathetic Tories have ruled for the past 14 years. They will be crushed, and deservingly so. The problem of course is that Labour will be much worse.
Farage might eventually be able to set things straight. But not this year. His Reform UK Party is projected to win only a few seats this time around.
Exit polls due to be released in about 10 minutes at 10pm BST/4:00pm EST.

Gee, what a coinkydink...

That Tory loss is nowhere near brutal enough for my liking. Good to see the Snp getting even more thoroughly smashed though.
