Keir Starmer’s Labour has won a landslide.
Rishi Sunak’s Tories have had their worst defeat in history.
Beneath the bonnet of that is perhaps the weirdest election of the modern era.
Bleary-eyed and caffeine-fuelled after a night of live broadcasting Jon, Emily and Lewis bring you the results of the 2024 general election and analyse what this decision we’ve all made will mean now.

Farage always, but always, talks up the disaster for other people. "Labour will be in trouble very, very quickly" - compare to his MEP rhetoric where Brexit was going to usher in all sorts of other exits across Europe....very, very, quickly. Farage lives for other peoples disasters. Everything is worse, more chaotic, more unstable and he paints himself without necesaarily saying as the answer. Yet he offers no practical policies. Its all pie in the sky. But people want flying pie, it seems.

It's not immigration that Labour have to focus on. Farage has used immigration as the scapegoat for the housing, local services, and NHS problems. If people feel those problems are being dealt with immigration will fade as an issue. As for the Tories, the smart move is not to go for the leadership, it's a poison chalice. Let someone else lead the chaos, and go for the leadership next time once everyone is exhausted by the chaos.

The biggest mistake Sunak made during the election was focusing on Labour, and not Reform. Looking through most of the results, it is clear that if Sunak had focused most of his effort on Reform, Labour would have lost so many seats given their low polling share. It does leave Starmer with a big problem, as with Reform in 2nd place in such a large number of seats means that if he fails to turn the ship around in 4 and a half years, Reform will expand and be fully battle ready for the next GE.

He appealed to the core Labour vote, but had little reach beyond (and actively terrified - ridiculous, I know, most Conservative voters). Had Corbyn been leading this election, millions of Conservative voters would held have held their noses and pushed the party over the line again. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the English electorate (and our voting system) to believe anything else). For context, I've voted Labour all my life, for over 30 years, and I'd place myself Left of the centre of Labour politics.

Since every aspect of life now has to be like a poor soap opera, that's unworkable as a business.

I think a vote for reform is a protest vote. Otherwise, why vote for someone who isn't going to win. If the tories sort themselves out, the reform voters will go back to them, and we'll only have a labour government for 5 years 😢

I think you're right about Reform, but methinks the Tories are far more likely to split than sort themselves out. labour's biggest threat now and in the future is Labour! The results, the volatilty of the electorate, the low turnout all suggest that electoral reform is not only essential but more likely.

But Reform had quite a few more votes than Greens, who really need to build on this success & make sure they receive as much mainstream media as Reform & NF consistently gets. So far their (Reform & NF) coverage has been way too disproportionate.
