[Albion] The election up all-nighter

[The Clamp]

Very much looking forward to Sunak bumble-f***ing around on Friday afternoon trying to kid people that these results mean nothing.

 

[Sirnormangall]

For Private Eye readers the Tees Valley mayor contest looks interesting.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If I wasn't working tomorrow and already knackered I would be tempted but as it stands I'll struggle to keep myself awake much later than 10pm.

I'm going to take the day off for the General Election though.

I really can't imagine what Private Eye would find interesting about Ben Houchen or as he is known following Johnson's resignation honours Baron Houchen of High Leven

Astonishingly he’s the most likely high profile Tory win, indeed if Labour do unseat him it’d be quite the upset

After the incoming disaster will Sunak trot out the standard "Mid-term elections are always difficult for incumbent governments" when we are almost four and a half years into this parliament?

I fancy he will.

 

[ROSM]

He had 70% of the vote last time. If he loses it will be a huge blow. Nobody can lose that much support surely?

 

[The Oldman]

Oh.

I'd just noticed BBC1 have though-the-night coverage, and I love an election all-nighter.

As does bbc r4 if you prefer to lie in bed and drift in and out

 

[armchairclubber]

Not sure I'll stay up to hear from our incumbent Tory Police Commissioner... again. Meaningless here.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

If their normal council operative competence is involved with the count, I’m expecting the result in July.

 

[HangletonGull]

If it was a general election I would have the day off tomorrow, but will watch tonight in bed till I fall asleep

 

[Spiros]

Well the polls close at 10.00 so I can't imagine the PCC counts going much past 10.20

Well in those places also having local elections they first have to separate the voting slips for those from the PCC ones as they all go in the same box. Here in Goring they will then find at least 2 spoiled ballots for the PCC count courtesy of yours truly and Mrs S

Fair point - 10.45

 

[LamieRobertson]

Two of the things on my habit tracker app thing are:

- Not drinking alcohol
- Getting to bed by 11:30

Are you suggesting I go crazy and ignore them both tonight?

Hmm……now you put it like that NOPE

 

[sparkie]

Pretty much got to - I really cannot wait to find out who my Police and Crime Commissioner will be.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

...or as late as you can be bothered with anyway.

Is anyone going to partake of some late-night Professor Sir John Curtice action with me?

When you say Curtice action with you . . . . I'm hoping that's not a typo. If it is, the answer is, you know I am fond of you, in a brotherly sort of way, but one has to draw a line somewhere.

(Looking forward to watching heads roll, bearing in mind that the first result, from Sunderland South, probably won't be in at the usual ten past eleven, so brace yourself for lengthy 'what it might mean' analysis around the exit polls).

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Just as predictable though

Except this time the good guys will win.

 

[Since1982]

Sussex PCC count is Sunday.

 

[chickens]

I want to, but have to work in the morning, am going to take the day after the GE off though, will 100% be up for that.*

* (with a nap between 11pm and 1am) - will then be on a caffeine drip through until morning.

 

[Bozza]

As does bbc r4 if you prefer to lie in bed and drift in and out

I'm knackered - I can't see me even making it to the beginning of the TV coverage.

Bed, radio and a single AirPod (right ear) it is.
