To think Teresa May has just won the election?

[desertmum]

Listening to TM outside Downing Street vs JC - I think she may have just won the election - saying what people wnat to hear and hopefully some of what she says needs to be done will be followed through with.

Chessed

I mean cheesed...

Though i quite like chessed

I say we

I mean the people i spoke to this morning

Bad

"If he can't win with all the promises he made, and against a goddamn awful campaign by the Tories, how on earth will he make the leap to get more seats than yesterday?"

If he can win seats against a hostile media environment and massive opposition within his own party, he is not doing too badly, is he?

I like chessed off.

Checkmate to the Queen

Thank goodness lefties feel like this decision of the electorate is a win.

I'm not working hard to disabuse them of this idea, because hopefully we won't have to put up with a month long temper tantrum, online abuse, publicly calling for some demographic to have their votes removed from them etc

It's funny, metspengler because all the whining, foot-stamping and fist-shaking I've seen today is coming from the Tories who can't bear the fact that their glorious "strong and stable" leader managed to piss away a 20-point lead. The idea that entering into a coalition with a bunch of far-right terrorist sympathisers represents some kind of victory really is delusion on a grand scale.

Going to bed with the DUP that doesn't seem good

The Tories trying to paint this as a win is hilarious.

TM swapped a government where they had a majority and all the power for one that doesn't have a majority and some unsavoury bedfellows, against all their stated aims, at great expense and for no good reason.

Totally humiliating.

Yes, and the only reason that she hasn't been forced to resign is that no-one, but no-one, could possible want their next few weeks to look like her next few weeks.

Even the Mail and Sun are going for her now.

Strangely, hackmum I would go further and say all the people complaining about Brexit and making silly arguments about having another referendum, ignoring the result etc, stampy-feety stuff, were also generally right wingers too.

What on earth are you on about metspengler? Do you live in an alternative reality?

Yes well done Theresa, certainty is what the country needs. Precisely why you should NOT have called an election. Foolish women. Arrogant Tories once again not in touch with their country.Good on you Jeremy!

Thank goodness lefties feel like this decision of the electorate is a win

Pahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!

Oh dear, somebody put on their denial pants this morning

42% of votes Tory

Labour 40%

The grand old leader if the Tories
She had 332 men
She marched them up to the top of the hill
And she marched them down again
When they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
But when they were only halfway up
14 of them said bugger this I've had enough!

Just got in from work and pleased to see this in active as I'm still "lolling" at it.

Been a laugh a minute Tiredemma x

I heard it described as 'this election debacle' on the radio earlier which pleased me greatly.

Sos love your ditty, also it seems rather quiet from some on here today wouldn't you say?

Hi noble and Portia xxxxx just had dinner with gdd. How r u both? Lots of laughs on here with some who just can't admit hung parliament is not a win lol!

Talk about sore losers or what! They were braying all yesterday and today the silent minority!

Even the Queen could only be arsed to spend 15 minutes with May today.

Lmao Christina!

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when Brenda met May. I wonder whether she told her jolly stories about last time she was in a similar situation and it ended up with another election a few months later. By all account she's never been too impressed with our Theresa.

Great tweet from 'any questions' on radio 4 from a listener......DUP makes UKIP look scientifically literate....... Lol!

Brenda said "I won't get up. You won't be staying long."
