This will be the first election that I have no idea who to vote for, will never vote Tory again after the lies during covid where my dad lost his life, don’t trust starmer, would never vote for a bunch of racists like reform , anyone give me a clue?

You may well be right Brian but as you well know, sectarianism on a religious basis is a very dangerous thing.
We are seeing MPs being elected on religious basis now, only very small numbers, but if this grows and it’s possible, then this country will have a far bigger problem than what’s going on the other side of the world these days.
We can’t just dismiss this as a potential issue.
Fair comments, Steve.

Fair play to Jess Phillips for highlighting this it has no place in politics regardless of who you support .
“I understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence,” replies Jess Phillips to a group of men intimidating after her win.
Jess then tells of how a young woman delivering leaflets yesterday was filmed and screamed at by an older man, who then slashed… pic.twitter.com/NDEiK7AEEr

Been waiting for any political party to proclaim that they would be extremely tough on drug dealers. For 25 years now I've never seen a party mention the drugs problem in this country at all. It won't be any different this time around, I'm sure. So, sod the lot of them. They're all a waste of time.
Michael Gove did his bit... allegedly.

I think it’s fair to say there were candidates running on a Gaza platform who are extremely well-intentioned people and ran a clean campaign. I disagree with them but respect their right to run. There were others who did it for money and/or kudos and/or ran an extremely dirty campaign in one way or another. Yakoob the most obvious but I’ve seen it on a smaller scale elsewhere. I hope those who won can give their areas effective representation as they’re areas that need a quality MP.

And it should also be noted that Corbyn won significantly more votes in 2017 than Starmer's New Tory party has done.
That's all very well but increasing your majorities to 30,000+ in seats you're always likely to win doesn't win you elections which is essentially what happened in 2017. There were very few gains from the Tories.
Winning Tory held marginal seats is where Labour usually wins elections.
Out of curiosity why have two seats still not declared? I see one is in North Scotland so thought maybe it was remote and therefore delayed but another is Thurrock.
