Happy Election Day 2024 to all who celebrate – 31 of our favourite funny reactions to it all
It’s finally election day in the UK, and the polls still suggest a Labour landslide, but – as the candidates keep telling us – the only poll that counts is the one that ends at ten o’clock tonight.
Labour on course for a landslide majority of 212 seats, according to final YouGov MRP
If this happens, it would be the biggest single party majority since 1832 and Labour’s best ever result

Technically, it’s all still to play for, but we bet the Sunaks have packed everything into boxes marked things like ‘kitchen’, ‘bathroom’, ‘servants’ wing’ and ‘pool room’, and stacked them by the front door, with the kettle, cups and teaspoons in a special bag so they can have a cuppa before unpacking – if they’ve any sense.
The jokes are well and truly flowing, so we thought we’d gather some favourites together before it all really kicks off as the results come in.

If you're voting in the UK today, don't just vote for the party; look at your candidate & THEIR voting record for the important stuff: "Leave Vs Remain" – June 23 2016, "Gates Vs Young" – Feb 9 2002, "Should Robin Live?" – Sept 15 1988.

Relieved I haven’t got the vote as I wouldn’t know who to vote for tomorrow. They’re all brilliant.

Getting the Tories out at this election seems to have become the biggest moment of national unity since the 2012 Olympics.

Bored of politics? Sick of people going on about the general election? Fed up about it being on the news and all over social media? Not going to vote because you’re not political?
Grow the fuck up
