Entertainment general election
People are planning their election results party with this inspired Conservative Wipeout Bingo card
After 14 years of Tory rule – if you include the coalition government (which we do) – it’s fair to say that a lot of people have had enough. A simple glance at the polls confirms that.

This is how that looks on a map.
Just put this poll into the FT's seat predictor and… https://t.co/UaT6Iam28e pic.twitter.com/6Uo1J14Yvr

We haven’t seen that much red in one place since Liverpool won the Champions League.
As the political pundits keep reminding us, the only poll that counts is the general election – but that doesn’t mean people aren’t getting just a little bit excited about seeing Tories lose their seats, and the excellent Chris Barker had an idea.

So what I really wanted was a bingo card that I could cross off all the Tories from as they lose on July 4th. But it didn't exist. So I made one. AND YOU CAN HAVE ONE TOO! Order it now in time for election night and you can play along at home: https://t.co/Emm6yYCdxZ pic.twitter.com/FRWeWTOuQr

If that’s not worth buying a dabber for, we don’t know what is. Obviously, the candidates crossed off are currently just examples of what could happen. Chris isn’t laying claims to any psychic powers.
The chart has gone straight onto many people’s must-have lists for the big night, along with snacks, drinks and party poppers. This is what some of them have been saying.

I have naturally ordered one of these. I’m going to start party planning now. Themed drinks and snacks. Costumes. Maybe a mood board. Hit me up with your suggestions Twitter! Cc @TheTrawlPodcast https://t.co/4eG2tNZFLM

Jesus Christ! This must have been a monumental task to put together. Well done, buddy.

Who will have the “Portillo Moment”? I think it would have to be either Jeremy Hunt, since he’s chancellor, or Liz Truss, since – believe it or not – she was prime minister (for about ten minutes).

Ordered me one of these. If there’s any faces uncrossed the next morning, I’ll be hugely disappointed. https://t.co/eykJolacHu

My first thought – I have just woken up and not yet donned my spectacles – was Word-search. And my mind was blown!

My 19 year old grandson is planning to stay up with me all night to celebrate – he saw your post and suggested we bought one! How could I refuse? So now we’ve ordered the chart, all we need is to get the drinks & nibbles sorted!

Inevitably, not everybody wanted to stop at bingo.
I’ve ordered one, let’s make up some drinking games to go with it
— Mary from Modbury (@hamishboglin) June 15, 2024
This is good advice.
Mind your liver!

Other parties’ candidates might also crash and burn, but if you want those bingo cards, you’ll probably have to make them yourself. If you want Chris’s Conservative version, you can get one here.
