-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Article

An exit poll carried out by polling company Ipsos, and paid for by the BBC, ITV and Sky says Starmer’s Labour Party will win the general election with 410 seats. The final outcome of the election should be clear by early on Friday.
The exit poll put the Conservatives on 131 seats – its worst-ever performance – and the Liberal Democrats on 61. Support for the Scottish National Party (SNP) was predicted to have slumped to just 10 seats, compared with 48 at the last election.
Polls closed at 10pm (21:00 GMT) after millions of voters cast their ballots across the UK in a snap general election called by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Voters were deciding whether the Conservative Party leader would remain in the top job or if Keir Starmer, head of the main opposition Labour Party, would become prime minister.
Issues such as the cost of living, healthcare and housing have dominated voters’ concerns.

Corbyn might get an independent seat. Exit polls say it's too close to call between him and the Labour ghoul he's against. The ghoul has ghosted Corbyn's call to debate multiple times, because they have explicit ties to private healthcare corporations.

Anyway... I am so unenthusiastic on Labour, yet I suckered up and gave them a tactical vote because they're just barely better than Lib Dems who were closely contesting them in my area. Immediately after voting I wanted to go take my vote back. They represent me on almost no major issues at all. Fucking useless. Next time I'll go Green.

Oh.. also, exit polls have Reform (racist party) getting 13 seats to Green's 2. Climate change? Eh. Racism? Bing bing bing.

EDIT: Corbyn easily beats labour ghoul, and reform go even with Greens. There's silver linings.
