UK Politics Thread IX: Try turning the UK off and on again.

[San Lumen]

The city Council result will be interesting.

Joanne Anderson is also the first Black women to be elected mayor for a city in British history.

Fantastic news. Congrats to her on making history. Im curious to see how the city council election goes.

Tories have taken Plymouth from Labour.

That is a huge red flag for LD. That's not a seat that should have even been close for them. SNP could very well get a majority.

On the other hand we held Orkney very comfortably; really not sure what to make of that, to be honest.


It's bit like trying to work out why the LibDems did so badly in Hartlepool, but have picked up some spectacular gains in Sunderland on swings of up to 50%. Several head scratchers today.

Also worth noting that the LD candidate increased their vote share to higher than in the byelection they were elected at.

[Dresderstan]

SNP HOLD Strathkelvin & Bearsden 2.1% swing to SNP

Not quite, there's still nine seats to go.

[The Nihilistic view]

The Greens making gains is a great thing. Their leader Caroline Lucas seems like a great person. She's being interviewed on BBC.

That moment when you realise nobody knows who the leaders of the Greens are.

Conservatives hold North East Lincolnshire
