Bang on 10pm GMT, we get the exit poll. It's usually very accurate. Then throughout the night, we get actual results from the counting. Some aren't done until 7am, but we'll know which way the wind is blowing well before then, how early depends on how close it is

Voted this morning. It was fairly quiet. Supposedly a safe labour seat in a university town but I don't trust academics not to be lib dem-voting melts, especially as there is so much more money for STEM research meaning there's more of them than humanities/history/arts researchers. Thankfully the FYGM senior people are heavily outnumbered by all the precarious people they have to hire on their grants.
I think it will be OK though. Everyone I've spoken to is voting Labour except for one Tory-voter who crossed my picket line... though a nice older man did try to persuade him that if he hates them all but wants "the devil he knows", why not swap his vote from people he knows have done a poo poo job to people who might do things differently.

An earnest suggestion: After you've cast your vote, don't sit up and watch the election coverage for your own mental health. It's like water torture. Once your vote is in the ballot box, and if you're helping people to the polls and their ballots are in too, it's out of your hands. Go do something else for your own sake.

Momentum thugs Untitled Goosed the 'moderates' out so the new choices are generally pro Corbyn. That's why cunts like Wes Streeting haven't stood down - they know a lefty would take their spot.

I really do wonder who is going to 'lead the charge' for centrists taking back control of the party when JC stands down. Who do they have? Watson was their figurehead and he's out. Keir Starmer? They've got hardly anyone with an ounce of name recognition and nobody in a position of power.

Depends on what the exit poll says. If it's hellworld I'm drinking until I wake up the next day feeling numb.

If not I'm plugging myself into the loving matrix.

This is my plan. It still means that I have to deal with the horrible, heart-stopping 'wake up, roll over and check phone' moment of doom, but there's no way I'd come out of a livewatch intact. I think even if it was good news it'd be too overwhelming for me today.

kier starmer maybe, or emily thornburry. compromise candidate of someone who bent the knee enough to corbynism as a movement but who isn't necessarily ideologically aligned, they learned their lesson trying to pitch overt wreckers like owen smith.

I think worrying about the succession now is a bit pointless. So much is going to change between now and Jeremy stepping down that predicting what the party and the selectorate go for seems premature
