So sad that he lost his seat. Really liked him.

Yes I'm very sad about it too, and he looked so sad Sad

WhatABaklava · 09/06/2017 02:56

He's a big loss to politics. Very sad.

RangeTesKopeks · 09/06/2017 02:58

I'm hoping he'll decide to contest his seat again at the next election. And that an election might be held fairly soon. He was so pro-EU and seemed to have so much passion and conviction :(

Poetic irony about being voted out by students though.

I think he was a good man but political sheen-ness got in the way.

I also feel for him tbh. It was close. It's probably no consolation but at least it wasn't a landslide against him.

ThierryEnnui · 09/06/2017 03:01

Fucks sake. He is brilliant. Only person who talks any sort of sense on Brexit - or indeed seems to have any first hand knowledge of how we work within Europe

At least it went Labour, I guess 😰

ThierryEnnui · 09/06/2017 03:02

Hopefully he will do a Vince and come back in in a few years?

DarkFloodRises · 09/06/2017 03:03

Gutted Sad

LightDrizzle · 09/06/2017 03:04

I felt sad for him too, even though I'm not Lib Dem. He always comes across as a very decent bloke and I believe he was a really committed constituency MP.

Happyfeet1972 · 09/06/2017 03:04

Also gutted.

RangeTesKopeks · 09/06/2017 03:05

Ooh hopefully Thierry did Vince Cable get back in? Have they announced the Twickenham seat yet? I really liked Vince Cable and Nick Clegg :(

What a shame, he looked so sad. Spoke with dignity. Hopefully he'll make a comeback

RangeTesKopeks · 09/06/2017 03:07

Oh no just heard that Vince Cable's also lost in Twickenham :( god this is horrible.

RangeTesKopeks · 09/06/2017 03:08

I was really hoping he'd get his seat back.

Twitchingdog · 09/06/2017 03:11

Vince got in .

PNGirl · 09/06/2017 03:11

Where are you getting your info? Cable was elected!

Ceto · 09/06/2017 03:13

Cable not only elected, but with a thumping majority. Go Twickenham!

Ceto · 09/06/2017 03:13

Poor Clegg seems to have suffered from the North-South divide.

Kuriusoranj · 09/06/2017 03:14

I agree - sad news. He made some difficult decisions and must have some huge political regrets. He always seemed like a decent person in an impossible position.
