This popped up in my YouTube feed and is one of the best summaries of recent British politics I've stumbled across.
I do like Arbiter Ian but his summary of UK politics was quite shit... Like he's superficially a Corbyn guy.

Gonna stick with Occam's and assume we're tired of being ground into Princes' meat paste while anyone with a few mill gets to keep watching it grow

I think a higher turnout suggests the “stop the supermajority” crap cut through. I don’t see extra labour people turning out when they’ve been told they’ve already won…? Possibly, but Labour's biggest fear has been voter apathy and everyone thinking it isn't worth going out to vote as it was all a foregone conclusion. They certainly haven't been hoping people would stay at home.

It does seem most likely that high turn out is more of a sign that the electorate are just that fucking furious with the Tories honestly.
Which may mean higher Green or Reform votes. But I doubt it'll narrow the headline much.

I did roll my eyes at 'Minister of Parliament', but the rest of the video has been quite entertaining.
(I know sweet f.a. about Warhammer, mind.)

His Warhammer bits made sense. But his definition of Corbyn being merely sensible Scandinavian stuff just got me. No further comment.
Like fine there's definitely a Keynsian thing in common but there's also all the other mad bollocks.

Anyone happen to know if C4's YT stream will be available for those outside the UK? I've only got Opera GX's in-built VPN on the go atm, and YT can be a pain in the arse with this stuff.

First lie of the night surprisingly comes from Channel 4
“Our exit poll” er, no. All the U.K. companies have paid for it BBC, ITV, Sky And I suspect Channel 4 are getting it via ITV/ITN.

That list appears as if to reaffirm why we all voted the way we did today.

I’m declaring the BBC have won the best election music poll.
Bonus merit mark for ITV having Big Ben bongs.

Looks like C4 may have grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory with these guests, Christ.
I think I'll be channel flicking a lot.
