If you wake up and are still under conservative rule?

Not goady, just genuinely interested in how you intend to make life better for yourself and those around you

Hurrah!

Probably off down the pub, using they benefit money to drink. Patting themselves on the back that the prat that is Jeremy Corbyn will increase their benefits at the expense of people like us who both work 70+ a week.

'Strong and stable' Grin

Walk around with smile on my face.

Congratulations to JC and labour for running a good campaign - he clearly struck a chord. Democracy is the winner and I'm happy it looks like a softer Brexit will be the result even if it looks like we'll have to do this all again in a few months.

JC - best voting share for Labour since Atlee in 1945, and he didn't win. At last young people have woken up to democracy.

TM now has plenty of time to run through wheat fields!

Deadsouls · 09/06/2017 06:17

What are you going to do OP, I mean to make life better for yourself and those around you (paraphrasing your words)?

Because not one of the millions Labour supporters works, do they?

How utterly ridiculous.

makeourfuture · 09/06/2017 06:17

A very divided nation this morning.

Deadsouls · 09/06/2017 06:21

Remember those Tory posters (not mentioning any names), saying what a genius May was for calling an election, how she was going to massively increase her majority, how this would then push through Brexit.....

ARumWithAView · 09/06/2017 06:23

Unless user14whatever's post is satirical (and these days I can never tell), I suppose I'll stay sober for a while, since the pub's not actually open yet, and drink my coffee whilst feeling very pleased at this new and unexpected proof that we're not a country of benefit-bashing, I'm-alright-Jacking, Trump-handholding, Brexit-means-Brexit right-wingers. (We're playing the reductive stereotypes game, aren't we?)

Seriously, the uncertainty of a hung parliament seems a better prospect than hearing May stand up this morning, as I expected, and boast that she's got a clear mandate to do whatever the fuck she wants - whether it's Brexit, human rights laws, the NHS and benefits. This is a divided country and we may as well represent that in our leadership, rather than let one faction completely steamroller through. Interesting times.

Very intelligent and factually accurate post there useretc

DH and I will go and collect our benefits now as we are obviously eligible, rather than both going to our well paying, 70+ hour jobs.

CaptainBraandPants · 09/06/2017 06:25

Oh, what will I be doing today? Working with a cautious smile on my face.

PaintingByNumbers · 09/06/2017 06:26

fucking hell, well 'm going to spend today killing myself laughing.

birdsdestiny · 09/06/2017 06:26

I have asked this elsewhere but why on earth are people celebrating a tory / DUP coalition, which is what the BBC are saying. Awful result for those who are of the left surely. I understand the cheer that Labour have done well, but the actual result is awful.

Theimpossiblegirl · 09/06/2017 06:28

Going to work happy that so many people are not small minded and selfish. I'd be fine under the Tories but it's not all about me, so voted Labour.

EpoxyResin · 09/06/2017 06:29

Birds, no-one on the left wanted TM and co. to have the authority and the majority to whip our schools, our NHS, our poor and or disabled. Now they don't. They'll find it much, much harder to do the things we're scared of.

TheDowagerCuntess · 09/06/2017 06:30

Probably off down the pub, using they benefit money to drink.

Since when did the notorious 'liberal elite' go drinking on benefit money?!

Was expecting a Tory majority of about 150 a few weeks ago so yes, pretty bloody happy!!

Would like to see likes of Yvette and Chuka back in the Shadow Cabinet. Will probably be another election soon and suspect with people like that back we'd be looking at Lab majority

witsender · 09/06/2017 06:30

I'm at work today, in a foodbank. We will all have ever so slightly, cautious smiles.

birdsdestiny · 09/06/2017 06:31

So you know what the DUP stand for.

PaintingByNumbers · 09/06/2017 06:31

just enjoying today. fuck may.

conserveisposhforjam · 09/06/2017 06:31

But they don't have a majority even with the DUP do they? Unless maths has gone weird overnight too?

birdsdestiny · 09/06/2017 06:32

Sorry that sounded aggressive Grin . It was meant to say do you know what the DUP stand for.

EpoxyResin · 09/06/2017 06:32

They're pretty unpleasant unionists who will likely preference a soft brexit. That's all i know.

EpoxyResin · 09/06/2017 06:33

They don't yet conserve but 7 seats left to declare

BoysofMelody · 09/06/2017 06:35

I'll be wondering how strong and stable Theresa would like the egg all over her face, scrambled or fried (obviously not an omelette as that sounds all European and that)
