Oh dear God

This exit poll is just...no words.

@CoolCarrie couldn’t have put it better myself. I think Jezza did himself no favours by refusing to say his stance on Brexit. I’m surprised it’s such a landslide but happy that Jezza is going. I think Labour will have far more credibility without him.

Just fuck it. Really is no point anymore.
My constituency just voted in the worst MP again.

Chucking in volunteering. Why bother.

Clearly those people that voted for this Government don't give a flying f about anyone they know who is low paid, disabled, is b of a different ethnic group, goes to a state school or who uses the nhs. I hope they are prepared to tell them.

I will now only donate to food banks of I can be guaranteed the recipients of my donation did not vote for the Tories

Just thought this needed repeating.

And they call Tory voters smug and patronising. What a disgusting attitude.

You deleted my comment about saying in (only half) tongue in cheek. My point is that I feel a lot of people who are dependent on food banks have voted to become even more dependent on them unfortunately. I know they won’t see it that way and think they are voting in their own best interest but they are really not. If you find that patronising so be it, I can back it up by pointing to the last decade under Tory leadership and what it has done to this country. It’s the people who think Tories will end austerity who are taking it out of thin air. I know Labour get the blame for the global recession🤷🏻‍♀️

I know they won’t see it that way and think they are voting in their own best interest but they are really not.

You really need to stop thing thing that you are Very Clever, whilst everyone who thinks differently to you is Very Not Clever, poor things.

It’s quite disturbing how many Labour voters seem to take this stance - and actually believe it.

@WellErr completely agree. MN and my fb feed are like a parallel universe. I've honestly never heard more intolerant bollocks. If this is how Labour campaigned then they deserve everything they fucking get. This is how the Brexit referendum was decided. Thus is why Trump won.
It's time to stop talking down to people. Its embarrassing.

And no, I didnt vote conservative. But i completely get why people did. And only a tiny tiny majority of those are only 10% of the adjectives that have been chucked on them on MN.

Chucking in volunteering. Why bother.

@Theworldisfullofgs Because it still matters and people who needed help before will still need help. And I believe that there will be more people needing more and more help in the future. This shit show doesn't make me want to stop, it makes me want to keep doing it even more.

I can't believe people voted for a party who have murdered so many people. Blood on their hands.

That is because the Tory party as not murdered anyone and that kind of comment is why in party people avoided Labour's very left wing extremism and made the sensible choice.

Now that Labour has shown it cannot win an election in its current form - the last one it won was in 2005 - it will need to move back to the centre ground to have any hope of a win in 2024.

Death for no reason is murder.

@TheBlueStocking comments like yours don't help those of us who genuinely want parties, other than the Tories, to be taken seriously. People like you are part of the problem and part of the reason we're now in this fucking awful situation.

No, I went out campaigning and won our seat for Labour. I am in no way part of the problem.

England will get what england deserves now. I am beyond disgusted

@TheBlueStocking you absolutely are when you make ridiculous comments. It's not helpful and fuels the idea that all Labour supporters are 'loony extremists'. FFS.

@SpiderCharlotte

That's what watching people die does.

@TheBlueStocking comments like that are exactly what I'm talking about.

You think you're the only person to have seen that? That some of the rest of us haven't? This is the time to start again, not add fuel to the fire.

You do you.

I'll keep being disgusted by the unnecessary deaths that have occurred over the last ten years.

Labour always wastes money and then has none to help the badly off. The Tories help the economy (look how the pound has soared for a start) and ensure there is enough money for the less well off.

This is a great victory. The next 5 years will be good.

Clearly those people that voted for this Government don't give a flying f about anyone they know who is low paid, disabled, is of a different ethnic group, goes to a state school or who uses the nhs. I hope they are prepared to tell them.

They were the ones who voted for this government.

Xenia would you mind explaining how a hard Brexit - possibly a no deal Brexit - will help the economy?

Also, how the Conservative government will ensure that there is enough money for the less well off when this UN report, expressing clear disgust with the levels of poverty in the UK, was researched and published after 7 years of Conservative rule?

Genuine questions.

Xenia we're not talking about the next five years.

The nation has voted for constitutional reform and a move away from democratic processes.

You do understand this don't you? The last two elections moved us away from any stability of a five yearly election cycle and come 2024 (if the planet makes it that far) the Conservatives will have implemented significant Constitutional reform, if they keep to their Manifesto pledges.

I cannot believe people are still trying to blame Corbyn.

I would never have chosen Corbyn to lead the party because I know that the vast majority of the U.K. are far too right wing at this stage.

However Labour had their biggest gains in many decades in 2017 under Corbyn, and 40% of the vote, and now their biggest loss in almost a century. Same leader. Similar policies. The problem was not Corbyn. The problem was Brexit.

While the Brexit vote was split almost evenly, Brexit voting constituencies massively outweigh Remain ones.

I’ve seen for months people saying that Corbyn should have been strongly in favour of Leave. That would have made things even worse. The only way to win this election was to be behind Leave.

Several years ago the tories and the media managed to convince a lot people that their lives weren’t shitty because of Tory policies, but because of the EU. When Brexit completely fucks us over, the Tories will find some other scapegoat. That’s just how it goes. So anyone who thinks that one day people will regret this vote are wrong, because some people refuse to see the problem.

Yes, the Labour party membership voted Corbyn in by a landslide. It was the role of the PLP to support that, but many have done all they can to undermine and cause divisions and splits from day one (very successfully).

Add into that a media run by Conservative billionaires and the Conservatives holding the BBC to a 'we'll withdraw your funding' ransom if they don't tie the party line and more.

And the EU referendum called by Cameron, who resigned immediately afterwards and opened the door for the Far Right, and that has caused divisions that the UK will never heal from.

And there was a perfect storm.
